April 30, 2019: Turhan Ozen, chief cargo officer (CCO) of Turkish Airlines and the head of the Turkish Cargo Brand, has been elected to the board of the International Air Cargo Association (TIACA).

Ozen has an extensive knowledge of the territories surrounding Turkey, having overseen business development in the Balkans, the Middle East, and African regions.

 "Turhan will be present on the ground as this major project works towards completion, his insight will prove invaluable to the TIACA Board and its members," said Sebastiaan Scholte, chairman of TIACA and chief executive officer (CEO) of Jan de Rijk Logistics.

Earlier this month Turkish Airlines moved all operations from Ataturk Airport to the new Istanbul Airport, an undertaking called the "Great Move" by the airline. The new airport, due for completion in 2027, will be the busiest hub in the world, with six runways boosting capacity for cargo.

"The air cargo industry requires effective leadership to manage the changes demanded by continuously diversified customer needs. I believe that my board membership at TIACA will contribute to this  leadership in terms of  a  positive way  for the change and for the development of the international air cargo sector," said Ozen.

Ozen is one of several new members recruited to join the TIACA board as part of an ongoing strategy launched in 2018 to focus more on members and content.
