Turkish Cargo receives IATA Smart Facility certificate



Turkish Cargo has received IATA Smart Facility Operational Capacity Certification for its SMARTIST facility at Istanbul Airport. This certification confirms all Turkish Cargo’s operational procedures comply with IATA regulations. “Turkish Cargo aims to become the industry leader by 2033. This vision guides all our investments and business processes. The IATA certification is an endorsement of our brand, as it not only verifies that SMARTIST meets international quality standards but also demonstrates that our digital solutions, smart systems, operations, and human resources are all aligned with our future goals,” Ali Türk, chief cargo officer of Turkish Airlines, said.  The certification demonstrates the compliance of handling and storage processes, from the acceptance of all special and general cargo to their loading onto the aircraft, with global standards. At SMARTIST, cargo is stored and transferred using a computer-controlled automated storage and retrieval system (ASRS). This eliminates the need for an operator or forklift, Turkish Cargo stated.
