About Turkish Cargo
Turkish Cargo is the brand Turkish Airlines sells its air freight business under, using the bellyhold of the passenger fleet as well as dedicated freighters. The company's own milestone record places the brand's establishment in the 2000s without giving a year, so no founding date is recorded here. It works from SmartIST, the cargo facility opened at Istanbul Airport in 2021, has been named cargo airline of the year at the Air Cargo News awards, and became one of the three largest global air cargo brands by IATA international freight tonne-kilometres in 2024.
