Turkish Cargo has tapped cargo.one to help expand its digital footprint.

The deal would put Turkish onboard cargo. one's marketplace for digital air cargo bookings.

"Flying to more countries than any other cargo airline, the combination of Turkish Cargo's capacities and cargo.one's seamless digital booking experience now offers freight forwarders worldwide a valuable new proposition," the platform for booking and marketing air freight capacity said in an announcement.

With 40 bookable airlines on board, cargo.one noted that it has now secured close to 50% of global air cargo capacity for instant booking on its platform.

"Within weeks, cargo.one customers worldwide can book capacities across Turkish Cargo's extensive network of more than 340 destinations, 100 of direct cargo - including important centres of commerce in North America, South America, Europe, and Asia," cargo.one said, adding that 

"Already flying its fleet of 20 freighters to more international direct cargo destinations than any other airline, Turkish Cargo plans to increase this from 100 to 120 by 2025," it added.

Turkish Cargo has become a major international cargo operator, posting growth across market segments, flight networks and transported tonnage in recent years.

In 2010, the carrier was ranked 33rd in the world and has risen steadily to 14th in 2017, and now 5th globally in 2022.

cargo.one noted that investments in state-of-the-art SMARTIST, its Istanbul mega cargo hub, sustainability programmes and a comprehensive digitalization strategy have helped Turkish Cargo increase business volumes to 9.1 million tonne-kilometres during 2021.

"Turkish Cargo's partnership with cargo.one will be expanding our digital footprint and improving sales capabilities," said Adnan Karaismailoğlu, senior vice president of cargo business development and organization at Turkish Cargo.

"We, as Turkish Cargo, are firmly on a trajectory towards our target to become one of the top three air cargo brands in the world in line with the strategic vision," Karaismailoğlu added, noting that cargo.one will support the carrier "to drive this growth and further raise the bar for our customers, with enhanced innovation standards for delivering the best new digital alternatives to empower success."

cargo.one noted that the partnership reflects an ongoing development of Turkish Cargo's sales capabilities in line with recent investments in its product range.

"We are delighted that with Turkish Cargo, yet another major cargo airline trusts in cargo.one as a core component of its digital strategy," said Moritz Claussen, founder and co-CEO of cargo.one.
