How to Book Travel on Challenge AERO

Established in 2002, Challenge AERO delivers a comprehensive flight service that covers passenger fulfillment, flight management, craft maintenance, air safety and ground handling. Challenge AERO was the first airline in the Ukraine to completely overhaul their aircraft while competitors continued to rent. Catering to business and VIP travelers, Challenge AERO should be the first choice for passengers looking for special accommodations.

Instructions

Book Travel on Challenge AERO

1. Visit the Challenge AERO Web site (see "Resources") to learn a little about the airline, its history, fleet and services. The Web site is available in Russian and English. Know, however, that the Web site doesn't offer detailed schedule information.

2. Touch base with Challenge AERO's sales department for booking information. You may contact them at 011 ([phone]. All country codes are within parentheses and begin with a "+" sign. All phone numbers include the United States international prefix "011." When calling internationally outside the United States, substitute that "011" with "00."

3. Contact your local travel agent for the Challenge AERO flight schedule and available destinations. Once you find a flight schedule that suits your needs, have the travel agent book it for you.

4. Prepare your visit to Eastern Europe with several backup departure and arrival dates and destinations, as Challenge AERO may not be able to accommodate your first choice.

Enjoy Your Flight on Challenge AERO

1. Eat restaurant-cooked meals customized to your personal taste on your flight! Certain aircraft also have coffee machines installed on-board to help you stay awake on long business flights and keep you productive.

2. Distract yourself and clients with the various forms of entertainment available, including VCR equipment, DVD players and a unique feature called Airshow Service, which allows you to track the aircraft's location, altitude and speed. Movies, music and reading material are also provided.

3. Impress your business clients and book private terminals, lodging and shuttle services at your departure or arrival location. You can even hire a helicopter!

4. Pilot your own personal vehicles, like a car or yacht, once you reach your destination by taking advantage of Challenge AERO's luxury cargo services.

Explore the Urkraine

1. Marvel at the capital city Kyiv (Kiev), which is the mother city of three countries: Ukraine, Russia and Belarus. Kyiv has existed since the 5th century and has survived countless attacks, disasters and wars.

2. Check out the coastal city Odessa for the nightlife, restaurants and bars! It's a great place for hanging out and watching a few shows. Just don't swim in the water since it's polluted by the nearby industrial zones.

3. Commune with nature at Carpathian National Natural Park, home to wolves, bears and bison.
