The airline joined Cargo 2000 as an Industry Associate Member in February 2009 in response to requests from its major freight forwarder customers. It has since become a Full Global Member.
Its Phase 1 accreditation is for Turkish Cargo's Istanbul, London and Amsterdam routes. The airline's Chief Commercial Officer, Mr. Orhan Sivrikaya was officially presented with the company's Phase 1 certificate by Cargo 2000's Chairman, Mick Fountain, during IATA's World Cargo Symposium in Istanbul.
The airline said its decision to become a Full Global Member of Cargo 2000 demonstrates its commitment to provide absolute customer satisfaction, increase its service quality and current share in the growing market, and to continue its overall business growth and development.
The Cargo 2000 Members welcome that Turkish Cargo has shown that it is possible within a fairly short time schedule to implement the Cargo 2000 quality management system and operational standards. The airline has also worked with determination on an upgrade of its IT system so that it has become one of the few members using its own Cargo 2000 Data Management Platform (CDMP) for planning and controlling purposes. This ensures every shipment can be closely monitored in real time.
Turkish Cargo is the 17th carrier ' out of Cargo 2000's 29 airline members ' to achieve Phase 1 accreditation.
