Commenting on the rating, THY Chairperson of the Board and Executive Committee Ahmet Bolat said, "As the world's fastest-growing air cargo brand, we continue to add value to the air cargo industry with our contributions to the supply chain and to continue our critical role in increasing the competitiveness of global trade.”
“Turkish Cargo will become one of the top three air cargo brands in the world by 2025,” he said, as they “are rapidly moving towards the goal.”
