We are the biggest supporter of our country's exporter
M. İlker Aycı stated that air cargo transportation is an opportunity for Turkey's exports; “As Turkish Cargo, we continue to be the biggest supporter and facilitator of our country's exporters, in addition to realizing a very important part of Turkey's service exports with both passenger and cargo transportation. With the campaign we signed with TİM between December 2020 and March 2021, we ensured the export of high value-added products close to 4 billion dollars in total to 28 destinations determined in the said 1.2-month period.
We are determined to increase the export volume by 5 times.
Noting that Turkish Cargo will continue to increase the possibilities and capabilities of our exporters, to be a reliable logistics partner and to play a facilitating role in global commercial activities, İlker Aycı said; “With our renewed cooperation agreement, we have increased both the capacity we offer to our exporters and the number of our destinations significantly, and as the National Flag Carrier, we continue to decisively support our exports and exporters.
In this context, we will carry the products of our exporters to 46 strategic destinations, from Houston, the USA to Seoul, Korea, and from Amsterdam, the Netherlands to Amman, Jordan, with discount rates of 10% to 35%, with the new campaign that will be implemented as of September and will continue until the end of the year. . Moreover, we have increased the offered capacity, which we determined as 15 thousand tons in our previous agreement, to 24 thousand tons with our deepening cooperation. As a result of this campaign, which we set out with the awareness of transporting Turkey's products to the world, using the efforts of Turkish manufacturers and the great advantage of Turkish Airlines' unique passenger and cargo network, our target this year is to realize exports of 6 billion dollars. We and our exporters are determined and determined to reach 1.2 times the 5 billion dollars export figure achieved with this cooperation last year.
As Turkish Cargo, we will continue to increase the possibilities and capabilities of our exporters, to be a reliable logistics partner, and to play a facilitating role in their global commercial activities, as we do today.”
İsmail Gülle; export teamwork
Expressing that Turkish Airlines is the most flying network carrier in Europe with 16 daily flights between 22-1333 August, Turkish Exporters Assembly President İsmail Gülle said; “While the collapse of the global giants of the sector was discussed during the pandemic period, Turkish Airlines continued on its way by opening new flights despite all the negative situations. In moments when borders were closed and transportation by highways became almost impossible, Turkish Cargo stood by its export family by delivering Turkish products to countless destinations safely and quickly, with its solid infrastructure in air logistics. So much so that in May 2020, when the impact of the pandemic was felt most intensely, the share of exports by air exceeded 10 percent. Exporting is a team job. Every order received by the exporter is a serious process that requires organization with its financing, production, marketing and logistics. I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate our flag carrier airline brand in the presence of Mr. İlker Aycı, Chairman of the Board of Directors, for its contribution to exports. Hopefully, with this new protocol, we will increase the share of exports by air much higher.”

Products Transported by Air Cargo Gain More Value
Within the scope of product transportation and transportation services, the elements that make air cargo transportation different and valuable compared to other transportation modes; are fast and safe transportation standards. At the point of transporting Turkey's labor to the whole world, the average value of air cargo transportation is 50 times more valuable than other transportation (land, sea and iron) methods.
Air cargo transportation, which has become more and more critical in the global sense, stands out as a very important transportation method, constituting only 1 percent of world trade in terms of volume and at least 35 percent in terms of value. Along with the e-commerce demands that make their weight felt in the global air cargo sector, fast door-to-door delivery of products opens important windows for new and continuous business opportunities. Air cargo transportation strengthens its position as one of the most important stakeholders of countries' exports.
