Turkish Cargo has released a series of short commercials to promote its state-of-the-art air cargo hub SMARTIST at Istanbul Airport as it celebrates the 100th anniversary of Türkiye’s foundation.

The first film tells about the transoceanic journey of a Barramundi, grown in South Asia and served within the same day at a restaurant in New York. The second film depicts the arrival of a valuable ceramic vase, owned by a Chinese dynasty and auctioned off in Paris. The third film, set in a greengrocer counter in Tokyo, shares the story of the journey of a Kiwano fruit, grown in Africa.

Turkish Airlines transports all these products across the globe through its SMARTIST mega facility at Istanbul Airport, which is situated at a flight distance of 4 hours to more than 50 countries worldwide. It also offers services to other products, including automotive goods.

The airline said SMARTIST has become an indispensable gateway for international trade. The mega hub stands out with its logistics, storage and smart system technologies, coupled with Turkish Cargo’s flight network, infrastructure and the geographical advantage of Istanbul.

Turkish Airlines Chairman of the Board and the Executive Committee, Prof. Dr. Ahmet Bolat, stated: “As part of the targets of Türkiye for its 100th year, we are committed to deliver much more by taking courage from our accomplishments in the past. We have been turning Istanbul into the logistics center of the world with the investments we make and the strategies we have created.”
