W
hile Turkish Cargo is the fastest-growing air cargo brand in the world, it has taken time to consider the heroes in its rank that have kept operations going through the pandemic. The Istanbul-based carrier says its air cargo transportation operations would not be possible without the help of its talented staff. In these operations, there are important roles from pilots to loadmasters.
Loadmaster Koray: Safe transportation of cargo from one point to another in the air cargo industry requires in-depth mathematical knowledge, hard work, rapid analysis and evaluation skills. Loadmasters are responsible for all these processes in a cargo plane. Explosive detection dog Aska and her handler Sezer: Aska has been working in cargo for three years. Ensuring security in a system where tonnes of loads are transported daily is a serious responsibility. Her trainer is very lucky to have a professional partner like Aska. The contribution of Aska and her handler Sezer, form a very important link in the security chain and their contribution to civil aviation is priceless.
