Turkish Cargo, a leading cargo airline in the region, revealed that it has launched cargo flights to Miami, one of the most strategical cargo destinations in the US and in the world.

Turkish Cargo’s Miami cargo flights are to be operated with Boeing 777-200F, the cargo aircraft newly acquired the past month, said a statement.
 
Turkish Cargo will be connecting Miami to 120 countries through more than 300 destinations with its Istanbul-Madrid-Miami departing flights and Miami-Houston-Istanbul return flights, it said.

Turkish Cargo, which has been transporting 110 tonnes of belly cargo weekly on Turkish Airlines passenger aircraft to Chicago, Atlanta and New-York; has now reached four destinations in the US with Miami, it added.

The cargo carrier will then show a 100 tonne capacity increase to the North American market with wide body freighters to reach 220 tonnes weekly, said a statement.

Miami Airport being the largest in the US and ranked 10th in the international cargo market, stands out for its capacity of handling perishable goods supply chain, which represents 47 per cent of the international transit cargo, offering high-end infrastructure.

Miami stands out with its cargo potential of fresh flowers, perishable fruits and vegetables, high technology products, telecommunication equipment and aircraft parts.

The region is known for its imports of textile, fish, medicine, flowers, automobile, chemicals, petrochemicals and other perishable goods, it stated. – TradeArabia News Service
