    Turkish Cargo makes eBookings more efficient and flexible for customers

    Boasting the world’s widest international flight network, Turkish Cargo continues to provide innovative and flexible solutions to the air cargo industry through digital transformation. Through a direct data connection with CargoWise, Turkish Cargo offers shippers on the platform real-time rates, capacity availability, and e-Reservation services within the leading logistics operating system used by the world’s largest freight forwarders and 3PLs.

    The eReservation integration between CargoWise and Turkish Cargo’s management system, COMIS, enables real-time access to air cargo rates, flight availability, and booking confirmations. Shippers can easily choose the suitable flights and make bookings with Turkish Cargo, all without leaving the CargoWise platform. The API connection enhances operational efficiency by eliminating errors due to manual data entry. This approach makes processes more transparent and helps reduce costs.

    Commenting on the collaboration, Turkish Airlines Senior Vice President of Cargo Marketing Selçuk Gençaslan, said: “As Turkish Cargo, we transport approximately 2 million tons of cargo to over 360 destinations within our flight network every year. Our wide flight network and high capacity allow us to be globally accessible while offering competitively cost-effective, innovative solutions. Consequently, we focus on offering digital solutions to our customers by swiftly adapting to the evolving dynamics of the industry and thus, we are pleased to advance our mission of delivering the best service to our customers through this collaboration with Cargo Wise.”

    Jorre Cobelens, Vice President – Logistics Data and Connectivity, WiseTech Global, said: “By establishing direct data connectivity with Turkish Cargo we enable our CargoWise customers to efficiently process tens of thousands of unique shipments on the world’s largest air cargo network from within CargoWise. This increases productivity for the entire industry during and after the eBooking process, avoids double data entry, reduces human errors, and eliminates unnecessary emails. The API integration provides Turkish Cargo’s customers with real-time communication directly within CargoWise, which also includes the ability to modify a booking until final execution of the Master Air Waybill. With this partnership, the transparent data sharing enables Turkish Cargo to optimize their planning and capacity management.”

    Turkish Cargo continues to provide its business partners with more flexible, efficient, and reliable solutions by accelerating digital transformation projects in the logistics industry.

  • “The Great Move” is largely concluded

    “The Great Move” is largely concluded

    Turkish Airline’s transition to its new home, Istanbul Airport, is largely concluded with progress at 96 percent. With the “Great Move” representing one of the most significant cornerstones of the Turkish Aviation history, Turkish Airlines has nearly concluded its gradual move to Istanbul Airport, which started following the official opening on 29th October last year. The moving operation, which started on 5th April, Friday, at 3:00, had reached 96 percent completion 12 hours earlier than the projected 45-hour plan. It concluded on 6th April, Saturday, at 20:00, and the flag carrier airline has already begun a new era at its new home, Istanbul Airport, which will be the new center of the global aviation sector.

    Commenting on the “Great Move” process, which included saying farewell to Atatürk Airport – home to Turkish Airlines throughout its 86 years of history, and moving to its new home base, Istanbul Airport, also known as “Monument of Victory”, Turkish Airlines Chairman of the Board and the Executive Committee, M. İlker Aycı said: “Currently the biggest airport project in the world, this enormous facility will be the home of the resounding local and global growth of Turkish Airlines in the future while becoming the most important driving force behind our growth with its state of the art physical capabilities and capacity.”

    “Successfully concluding its mission of being the home of our brand throughout our 86 years of history, saying farewell to Atatürk Airport was a highly saddening experience for us. However, our brand’s unstoppable growth and progress especially over the last 15 years forced us to make this decision to part ways. As Turkish Airlines became unable to fit its mold with its efficient growth performance, the need for a new home that will support its development and open its way with capacity and other physical capabilities was born. Starting with the originator of the idea for this monumental project and its biggest supporter, our President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, as well as our Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure, IGA consortium, our various business partners, every single member of our family and everyone else who offered their toil and support, we are grateful to all of those for bringing us this bundle of opportunities, which will allow us to carry the passenger and flight experience into a whole new platform. In addition to this, I would like to also express my great pleasure and honor in announcing that the future of the global aviation will develop with Turkish Airlines at its center with our new home, and new face of our brand.”
