Turkish Cargo has added a freighter route to its growing network and started a scheduled service from Izmir to Tel Aviv on 29 April using an Airbus 310 Freighter.

The freighter will be carrying payloads of seafood to meet increasing demand for exports as it says three of the four fishes in the world’s total export of fishery products are exported from the Aegean region.

Turkish Cargo says the aim of the Israeli freighter service is to bring the products to the customers in Tel Aviv within the same day, without losing any quality and freshness.
