Hi all,
Been seeing some of the Centurion/Challenge Cargo MD11s using KYE identifiers (iso CWC) with a "Skycube" callsign recently. Can anyone tell me who this new outfit is and how they're connected?
Not even sure what the Centurion/Challenge Cargo "thing" is these days either. Some days they use Centurion callsigns and other days it's Challenge Cargo.

According to the 7340.2B, "KYE"/"Sky Cube" is registered to:
SKY LEASE I, INC. (GREENSBORO, NC)
Sky Lease's website looks almost identical to Centurion Cargo's, although note the logo between the two companies is slightly different...
From what I've found, Sky Lease I purchased Tradewinds Airlines several years ago. Alfonso Rey is the sole owner of Sky Lease I, and is the Chairman of Centurion Cargo, so I'm guessing the two companies have formed a joint venture through Rey.
