Alliance Cargo Express (ACE) and Turkish Cargo have entered into a partnership aimed at expanding their global airfreight reach and service offerings.

The collaboration was announced by ACE co-owner Nikolay Pyagay in a LinkedIn post dated July 17.

According to Pyagay, the agreement will extend the carriers' combined network to over 120 destinations across Europe, Asia, and the Americas.

The partnership also includes dedicated freighter charter operations and plans to introduce specialized services such as temperature-controlled pharmaceutical shipments and express lanes for e-commerce.

In addition to operational enhancements, the two companies will integrate digital platforms to streamline airfreight quoting and enable real-time shipment tracking.

"We look forward to collaborating on new projects—dedicated freighter charters and cutting-edge supply chain digitisation—to drive efficiency and reliability in every shipment," Pyagay said.

The announcement comes as Turkish Airlines continues to scale its cargo operations.

In 2024, the airline reported a year-on-year cargo revenue increase of approximately 35%, supported by investments in fleet growth and specialized handling capabilities.

Strategic partnerships remain a key element of Turkish Cargo's expansion strategy.

Alongside the ACE agreement, the carrier has recently partnered with Atlas Air and Hong Kong Air Cargo.

Since May, Atlas Air has operated a Boeing 747-400 freighter on Turkish Cargo's behalf, serving routes across the Middle East, Asia, Europe, and the Americas.

In April, Turkish Cargo and Hong Kong Air Cargo signed a Memorandum of Understanding to explore further cooperation through aligned commercial and operational initiatives.
