With a network sprawled across 132 countries, Turkish Cargo has been around for over eight decades since its inception in 1933, offering air cargo services to over 340 destinations.
In a bid to make Istanbul, the logistics centre of the world by directing a bulk of the global air cargo traffic to Istanbul Airport, Turkish Cargo has set up a mega cargo terminal — SMARTIST — which in Turkish Cargo’s own words is “among the largest hubs in the world”.
According to Turkish Cargo’s website, “While Turkey is getting ready to become a new reference point for the world upon opening of the Mega Hub Istanbul Airport, Turkish Cargo’s SMARTIST facility will have a closed area of 340,000 m2 and an annual capacity to sort out 4 million tonnes of cargo.”
About ambitions for SMARTIST’s future, Turkish Cargo has this to say, “Our mega facility will also highlight the intercontinental location of Istanbul and serve as a gate that is excellent for the trade between the East and the West.”
