Hapag Lloyd Executive is awaiting the delivery of a new Challenger 604, currently slated for January 2001. The Hannover-based company says it will be flown, similarly to its existing Astra SP, for both charter purposes and also its own use. With regard to the company's Astra SP (pictured above), spokesman Kurt Wehrenberg told EBAN: "While our customers are primarily based in Europe and often fly within its boundaries, we also have flights to Russia, Kazakhstan and the Eastern sphere. "In addition, we carry out missions to Egypt and in the other direction, to the Canary Islands."
