Turkish Cargo has selected Warsaw-headquartered 4RCargo as its exclusive GSSA in Slovakia.

The new partnership will allow 4RCargo’s customers in the Slovak market access to Turkish Cargo’s network connecting through Vienna, Frankfurt, Linz, Munich and Prague, before transiting Turkish Cargo’s central hub in Istanbul.

Pawel Kazmierczak, 4RCargo managing director, said: “With an easily accessible global network, the partnership between Turkish Cargo and 4RCargo will open the door for Slovak customers to continue to grow exports whilst receiving unparalleled customer experience.”

4RCargo will represent Turkish Cargo from a new dedicated office in Bratislava, which the GSSA opened earlier this year in response to market demand. The company has been expanding across Central Eastern Europe since its establishment in 2021.

A statement noted that Turkish Cargo will benefit from 4RCargo’s new customer relationship management and multimodal capacity management system, SugarCRM.

Accessible through a mobile app, the system delivers complete visibility, updating capacity information in real time.

Turkish Cargo aims to increase its number of cargo destinations to 150 and cargo aircraft to 44, boost the capacity of its SMARTIST facility at Istanbul Airport to 4.5m tons, and grow its operational volume to 3.9m tons by 2033.
