According to the latest data from the International Air Transport Association, Turkish Cargo climbed to an impressive 3rd position worldwide, a significant leap from its 5th position during the same period last year.

In the dynamic world of air cargo carriers, Turkish Cargo, the air cargo brand of Turkish Airlines, has showcased remarkable growth, securing its place among the leading air cargo carriers globally.

Turkish Cargo May performance


During the month of May 2023, Turkish Cargo demonstrated an outstanding performance, surpassing top competitors in America, Europe, and the Far East. This success can be attributed to several key factors, including the strategic increase in cargo tonnage and an expanded market share.

Rapid growth and increased market share

The Freight Tonne Kilometers (FTK), a crucial metric used in the air cargo industry, indicated a remarkable 17% increase in Turkish Cargo’s cargo tonnage compared to the previous month.

This substantial growth led to an impressive market share boost, rising from 4.7% to 5.4%, which translates to an increase of 0.8 points in just one month, as compared to April.
