Turkish Airlines is to build the World’s Largest Cargo Terminal it announced recently. Turkish Airlines (THY) announced on the social networking site NSosyal that the facility will be built with an investment of TL 100 billion (more than $2.3 billion).
“Türkiye is growing, Turkish Airlines is soaring,” the carrier said. The investment and the establishment of the cargo terminal and in-flight catering facility will create 26,000 new jobs, said the company. “As Türkiye’s flagship brand, this pride makes us proud,” it added.
Although Turkish Airlines did not reveal the project’s site, Istanbul home to Turkey’s two largest airports is reportedly a potential choice. With over 85 million passengers and 2 million tons of cargo annually, THY, is one of the largest airlines in the world.
CEO Bilal Ekşi said the carrier will be among the world’s top five airlines by 2033 as it plans to reach a fleet of 813 aircraft. “Nearly 600 aircraft have been ordered. We expect these to join our fleet within the next 10-12 years,” Ekşi said.
As of the end of 2025, the fleet ranked eighth in the world with 514 aircraft. With 356 destinations across 132 countries, Turkish Airlines claims to be the airline with the most number of flights worldwide.
In the first eleven months of 2025, the carrier carried 85.3 million passengers, an increase of 8.4% year over year. That exceeded the total number of passengers for the entire year of 2024, which was 85.2 million.
