From Istanbul to London, and between IST and ISL
Turkish Cargo achieved a milestone in its dual hub operation in Istanbul last week. Together with its RFS-Partner Ortadoğu Lojisitk it celebrated the 30,000th road transfer between the cargo terminals of the new Istanbul airport (IST) and the old (ISL) Atatürk airport.
All in all, 1.65 million km were covered on this stretch since April last year, which corresponds to 41 circumnavigations of the earth. 500,000 t of cargo were transported during that time.
Much shorter is the connection between ISL and London Heathrow that the airline launched at the beginning of this month. The B747F service runs every Saturday and complements the flights between ISL and London Stansted that are operated with B777F und A330F four times a week. (ah)
