Turkish Cargo Selects cargo.one to Fuel Global Growth Ambitions

cargo.one today announced a global partnership that brings Turkish Cargo, the Turkish national carrier’s cargo division, on board the leading marketplace for digital air cargo bookings.

Flying to more countries than any other cargo airline, the combination of Turkish Cargo’s capacities and cargo.one’s seamless digital booking experience now offers freight forwarders worldwide a valuable new proposition.

With 40 bookable airlines on board, cargo.one has now secured close to 50% of global air cargo capacity for instant booking on its platform.

Turkish Cargo is a major international operator, achieving exceptional growth across market segments, flight network and transported tonnage in recent years.

In 2010, the carrier was ranked 33rd in the world, and has risen steadily to 14th in 2017, and now 5th globally in 2022.

Investments in state-of-the-art SMARTIST, its Istanbul mega cargo hub, sustainability programmes and a comprehensive digitalization strategy has helped Turkish Cargo increase business volumes to 9.1 million tonne kilometers during 2021.

Already flying its fleet of 20 freighters to more international direct cargo destinations than any other airline, Turkish Cargo plans to increase this from 100 to 120 by 2025. Freight forwarders can now benefit from the best marketplace booking experience for Turkish Cargo capacities.
