Jul 25, 2011 (newstodate) Effective from July 18, 2011, Turkish Airlines Cargo has intensified its services between Istanbul and Budapest Ferihegy Airport.
The company has launched a scheduled weekly Airbus A310 freighter service between Istanbul and Budapest, offering a cargo capacity of around 40 tonnes in each direction.
This freighter service will complement the capacity on the carrier's passenger operations that now total 10 weekly flights between the two destinations.
-We are putting our foot in the doorstep of the Hungarian Cargo market with the introduction of the new non-stop wide-body cargo service between Istanbul and Budapest, says Levend Arisoy, Turkish Cargo General Manager Hungary.
-We consider this only as a test. Should the business develop the way we project, we are ready to increase our frequency the same way we are constantly increasing our passenger network.
-July is a milestone in our presence in Hungary. Should the bilateral air service agreement allow us, we would be pleased to increase our presence in the Hungarian market even more, says Mr Arisoy.
