With four weekly A330 cargo flights between Istanbul and Budapest, including one new direct flight, Turkish Cargo is turning its cargo branch at the Hungarian airport into its Eastern European headquarters. In future, freight activities in a total of 21 markets in Eastern Europe and parts of the CIS are to be coordinated from Budapest. Another new addition to the route network of the fast-growing Turkish freight airline is now direct access to the Romanian freight market with weekly Bucharest flights. In September, Turkish Cargo added additional freight destinations to its global network: London Heathrow, Bangkok Suvarnabhumi, Singapore Changi, Lahore and Beirut. In Austria, Vienna is currently served twice a week with the A330F and Linz with one weekly connection each with the A330F and B777F. The DACH region is also served eight times a week with Frankfurt, as well as three weekly freight courses to Basel and Zurich.

The Turkish Cargo fleet currently consists of two A310-300Fs, ten A330-200Fs, eight Boeing 777Fs and four B747-400Fs. According to information from Turkey, two more B747-400Fs will be added in the next few months. Unlike the passenger flight operations of Turkish Airlines, the cargo division continues to rely on the venerable Istanbul Ataturk Airport as its base and global hub.
