Challenge Handling, an air cargo ground handling company, has announced the appointment of Detlef Schaefer as its new Chief Executive Officer. This leadership change is intended to guide the company through its next phase of growth and development. Schaefer's background includes significant experience in the aviation sector, airport operations, and ground handling services.
In his new role, Schaefer will be responsible for overseeing the expansion and enhancement of Challenge Handling's operations, particularly at its Liège hub. He is also tasked with fostering closer collaboration with customers, partners, and other industry stakeholders. Former CEO David Alexis has transitioned from his role.

Improved leadership might lead to more streamlined processes, better communication, and potentially enhanced capacity or service offerings, which could benefit air cargo movements through this key European hub.
