GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.
Mark an aviation-history collection with a Centurion Air Cargo ceramic ornament. The name is tied to a story that began with Challenge Air Cargo in 1985, moved to independence in 1986, and continued with Centurion's formation in 2001. Its Miami story includes the opening of the Centurion Cargo Center at Miami International Airport in 2013. A thoughtful keepsake for airline collectors, cargo aviation enthusiasts, and anyone who values the history of airport operations and air freight.
Centurion Air Cargo, which operated as Centurion Cargo, was an American cargo airline based in Miami-Dade County, Florida. Its history began in 1985, when it was established as Challenge Air Cargo, a subsidiary of Challenge Air Transport. The airline became independent of Challenge Air Transport in 1986. In 2001, after United Parcel Service took over the scheduled business, a new company was formed as Centurion Air Cargo to take over Challenge’s air operating certificate. Centurion also operated the Centurion Cargo Center, a cargo terminal at Miami International Airport that opened in 2013. The facility covered 1,400,000 square feet and included a 550,000-square-foot warehouse with cold and dry storage. It was described as North America’s largest privately owned, all-cargo airline facility before its operation shut down. Following financial difficulties and an inability to restructure its operations, the airline surrendered its operating certificate to the Federal Aviation Administration in June 2018. The supplied history therefore links the Centurion name to the earlier Challenge Air Cargo operation and to a major Miami cargo facility.
