Turkish Cargo, the air cargo brand of Turkish Airlines, ranked third among the leading air cargo carriers in the world, in the wake of its good performance in May.
The successful brand, which was ranked 5th on the same period of last year according to the monthly data published by the International Air Transport Association, became one of the top three air cargo carriers by overtaking the top brands in America, Europe and the Far East during May this year, said a statement.
According to the FTK (Freight Tonne Kilometers), derived by multiplying the cargo tonnage, carried by air, with the kilometers covered, Turkish Cargo increased its cargo tonnage by 17% compared to previous month while raising its market share to 5.4% from 4.7% by increasing it 0.8 points as compared to April, it said.

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 higher and combines its wide range of services and operational capabilities with the unique geographical advantages of its hub in Türkiye. - TradeArabia News Service
