the fastest-growing air cargo brand, Turkish Cargo has been conducting air cargo operations since 1933 as part of Turkish Airlines, Turkey’s “rising star.”</p> <p>In 2023, Turkish Cargo was awarded the “Sustainable Air Cargo Brand of the Year” at the Freightweek Sustainability Awards.</p> <p>With a fleet comprising 446 passenger aircraft and 23 freighters, it provides air cargo services to more than 340 destinations globally. Aiming to make Istanbul the world’s air logistics hub, Turkish Cargo plans to operate direct flights to 150 destinations by 2033 and double its carried tonnage.</p> <p>With the opening of the Mega Hub at Istanbul Airport, Turkey has become a new pillar for global air traffic. Turkish Cargo’s Mega Hub, SMARTIST, which is also the world’s logistics center, will have a cargo sorting capacity of 4.5 million tons annually upon the completion of the second phase, covering an area of 340,000 square meters.</p> <p>Turkish Cargo continues to raise the bar in air cargo transportation through sustainable growth, supported by its infrastructure, operational capabilities, fleet, and highly qualified workforce.</p> </p> <div class="detail-wrap"> <div class="new-detail-video bg-cover-img"> <iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/xNeGfZ7x9eE" title="video"></iframe> </div>
