Turkish Cargo and ACE partner to expand global air freight network

In a major step toward strengthening global air logistics, Turkish Cargo has entered into a strategic partnership with Alliance Cargo Express Inc. (ACE), a U.S.-based freight forwarding and logistics company. This collaboration is aimed at enhancing international connectivity, expanding digital capabilities, and accelerating specialized services, including pharma logistics and e-commerce solutions.

The partnership will allow ACE to leverage Turkish Cargo’s expansive global network, reaching over 120 destinations across Europe, Asia, and the Americas, providing customers with increased capacity, more route options, and reliable access to emerging markets. The alliance is expected to be particularly beneficial to pharmaceutical and temperature-sensitive sectors, with both companies committed to delivering compliant, end-to-end cold chain solutions.

One of the standout features of this partnership is the integration of ACE’s digital platform. Customers will now benefit from seamless online quoting, booking, and real-time tracking, key enablers in a market that increasingly demands speed, visibility, and automation.

The companies also announced plans to collaborate on dedicated freighter charters, especially for urgent or high-volume shipments, as well as further investment in next-generation supply chain technologies to enhance efficiency across operations.

ACE quoted, “We’re thrilled to join forces with Turkish Cargo. This partnership represents a commitment to providing our customers with not just global reach, but also smarter, faster, and more reliable logistics solutions.”

As global supply chains continue to evolve post-pandemic, partnerships like this between a leading global carrier and a digitally agile forwarder reflect a growing trend of synergy between scale and innovation, setting new benchmarks for air cargo logistics.
