Turkish Cargo has expanded its network with the addition of numerous direct routes to destinations in Europe, the Middle East and Asia.

Last month, the carrier added London Heathrow Airport in the UK and Henri Coanda Airport in Romania as European network destinations.

In addition, new direct cargo services in Asia include Suvarnabhumi Airport in Thailand, Singapore Changi Airport and Allama Iqbal Airport in Pakistan.

Rafic Hariri Airport in Lebanon has also been added as a new direct cargo destination in the Middle East.
