We recognise these achievements as a commitment to our future targets and work harder to add further value to the air cargo industry.”

As one of the fastest growing air cargo brands in the world, Turkish Cargo continues to raise the bar for success each day, combining its wide range of services and operational capabilities with the unique geographical advantages of its hub in Türkiye, said a release.
