Turkish Cargo

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Turkish Cargo is (unlike Lufthansa Cargo or Egypt Air Cargo , for example ) not a subsidiary or its own airline. It is just the name under which Turkish Airlines operates its cargo flight program. This can also be seen from the ICAO abbreviation THY , which is the same in both cases. So you don't need an article of your own, because that's just misleading. In 1933, not two airlines were founded in Istanbul, but only one. Thanks anyway for creating this article, I recommend moving its contents as a sub-heading to Turkish Airlines .-- Dr. Fist ( discussion ) 11:59, Apr 11, 2019 (CEST) This article needs revision.

history

Foundation and first years

The Turkish Cargo brand was founded in 1933 at Yeşilköy Airport (now Ataturk Airport). Initially, the Bellt capacities of the Turkish Airlines aircraft were marketed under Turkish Cargo. In 1969, Turkish Airlines received the first freighter under the Turkish Cargo brand, a Fairchild F-27, which had previously carried passengers. In the following years, more aircraft joined the fleet.

2010s

In 2010, Turkish Airlines took delivery of the first Airbus A330-200F under the Turkish Cargo brand, which was the first brand-new freighter in the fleet. This started an aggressive growth that continues to this day. The first Boeing 777F was received in 2017. The route network increased from 41 to 86 destinations between 2010 and 2018. In 2018 the cargo division grew by 19.4%. In 2015, a new cargo terminal was opened at Istanbul Ataturk Airport. This made it possible for the first time to transport animals and radioactive goods.

Istanbul Airport

Turkish Airlines aims to be among the five largest cargo airlines by 2023. They want to achieve this with Istanbul Airport and new planes. Two cargo terminals are currently being built. The smaller building will be erected on an area of ​​25,000 m² and is intended for goods that need to be cooled. The larger terminal will be built on an area of ​​165,000 m². The “Mega Cargo Facility” will have an annual capacity of four million tons of freight. Until the terminal at Istanbul Airport is completed, Turkish Cargo will mainly fly from Ataturk Airport.
