Turkish Airlines’ global air cargo brand, Turkish Cargo, has added its ninth Boeing 777 Freighter (777F) to its fleet. The carrier will take delivery of three additional Boeing 777F by mid-2026.
Standing out with its high efficiency, fuel savings, and technical reliability on intercontinental flights, the Boeing 777F will operate on long-haul scheduled routes with its 9200 km nonstop range, primarily to the Americas and the Far East.
Turkish Airlines Chief Cargo Officer Ali Türk stated: “As Turkish Cargo, we will expand our Boeing 777F fleet to 12 aircraft in 2026, gaining an additional annual capacity of approximately 220,000 tons. This growth will contribute to our fleet streamlining and sustainability goals, while enabling us to offer our business partners greater capacity.
Beyond the advantages of fleet expansion, further addition of the Boeing 777F aircraft represents a strategic investment that enhances our operational capabilities with its extended range, superior payload capacity, and enhanced fuel efficiency. Guided by our growth strategy centered on wide-body freighters, Turkish Cargo will continue to deliver effective solutions to the needs of global trade.
Boeing Vice President of Sales and Marketing, Eurasia and India Paul Righi said: “We are excited to build on our partnership and support Turkish Cargo in its growth strategy with more 777 Freighters joining their fleet. The unique capabilities of the 777 Freighter will enhance their operations with the capacity and reach to support growing cargo market demand.”
Being one of the fastest-growing air cargo brands in the world, Turkish Cargo today provides services to more than 350 destinations in 134 countries and transports approximately 2 million tons of air cargo annually.
Within the scope of Turkish Airlines’ 2033 Vision and its target of a fleet of 813 aircraft, Turkish Cargo aims to increase its freighter fleet from 28 to 44. This growth is supported by the SMARTIST 2.0 investment, digitalization efforts, special cargo solutions, and a team of dedicated experts.
With the enhanced capacity and operational capability provided by the modern fleet, Istanbul’s position of being a strategic hub in global air transport is being reinforced further.
