Exporters to Deliver Products to 40 Cities in 30 Countries at Discounted Rates via Turkish Cargo
The Türkiye Exporters Assembly (TİM) and Turkish Airlines (THY) continue their collaboration to expedite and offer discounted delivery of exporters' products to markets.
Turkish Cargo, the air cargo brand of THY, has renewed its protocol with TİM for the fifth time, offering exporters discounted cargo transportation. Under this protocol, Turkish Cargo will transport export products to 40 cities in 30 countries with discounts up to 30%.
TİM Chairman Mustafa Gültepe reminded that they embarked on the vision and goal of elevating Türkiye into the top 10 exporting countries in the second century of the Republic. Noting the targets for 2024 of $267 billion in goods exports and $110 billion in service exports, Gültepe continued:
“To achieve our targets, we must strengthen our logistics capabilities. Air cargo transportation holds a significant place, especially in reaching distant markets. Speed and cost parameters are extremely important here. At this point, we are signing this protocol for the fifth time with Turkish Airlines, the pride of our country and our most crucial supporter. With the slogan 'Türkiye will Rise with Exports on Turkish Airlines' Wings,' we have achieved significant successes on this journey. Hopefully, with the new protocol, we will further increase the share of air transportation. Exporters will be able to deliver their products to 40 cities in 30 countries with discounts up to 30%. We thank the THY family for providing cost advantages to our exporters.”
Evaluating the cooperation, Turkish Airlines Chairman of the Board and Executive Committee, Prof. Ahmet Bolat, said:
“As the flag carrier airline, we consider supporting our country's export mobilization our primary duty. Thanks to the air cargo bridges we have established and the opportunities we offer, Turkish exporters enhance their strength in global competition by reaching strategic markets at advantageous costs. In line with this, through the last campaign we signed with TİM, we achieved more than a 50% increase compared to the same period of the previous year in selected destinations, making a significant contribution to foreign trade. In our new campaign, we are offering a substantial capacity for use in 40 carefully selected destinations to our exporters. We hope that this traditional cooperation will significantly contribute to our country's export goals.”
The protocol, covering general cargo, perishable cargo, eggs, fish, meat, fruits, and vegetables, will commence on June 14 and remain valid until August 31, 2024.
