Turkish Cargo, a subsidiary of Turkish Airlines, has recently achieved the prestigious IATA Smart Facility Operational Capacity Certification for its cutting-edge SMARTIST Terminal at Istanbul Airport. This certification attests to the fact that Turkish Cargo’s operational procedures comply with a range of IATA regulations, including those governing cargo handling, dangerous goods, ULD storage, temperature control, live animals, and perishable cargo.
The SMARTIST Terminal stands out as one of the most advanced cargo facilities in the world, where cargo handling and storage are facilitated by a computer-controlled Automated Storage and Retrieval System (ASRS). This state-of-the-art system minimizes the need for manual intervention, thereby streamlining operational processes and reducing potential risks and costs. Furthermore, the terminal employs smart storage management systems that automate ULD storage processes, allowing the workforce to focus on more value-added tasks.
