Turkish Cargo widens
direct cargo operations
to 95 destinations
ISTANBUL: With air cargo demand increasing, Turkish
Cargo has expanded its direct cargo operations to 95
destinations, adding London, Bucharest, Bangkok,
Singapore, Beirut and Lahore to its growing flight
route network.
Now touted as the fastest growing cargo brand,
Turkey's national freight carrier's move reinforced its
position in the global air cargo industry as having the
widest direct cargo flight network.
In September, Turkish Cargo included Heathrow
Airport (LHR) in London, one of the world's busiest
airports, Suvarnabhumi (BKK), one of the largest
airports in Southeast Asia, Singapore Changi Airport
(SIN) and Rafic Hariri Airport (BEY), the only
operational commercial airport in Lebanon, to its cargo
flight network.
It also added Henri Coanda Airport (OTP), the busiest
airport in Romania, and Allama Iqbal Airport (LHE)
located in Lahore, the cultural center of Pakistan, to its
cargo flight network with the winter schedule, thus,
reaching 31 direct cargo flight destinations in the
European continent, 22 in Middle East and 16 in the Far
East.
Connecting the continents to each other, Turkish Cargo
says it continues to carry out its global business
operations with its fleet of 361 aircraft, 25 of which are
freighters, on the widest direct cargo flight network of
the world among the air cargo brands, excluding
express carriers with its 95 destinations.
The cargo carrier continues to invest on its sustainable
growth, infrastructure, operational capabilities, fleet
and team of leading experts in its quest to become one
of top 5 global air cargo brands in the world by 2023.
