“Today is a day for celebration,” said Ali Sedat Özkazanç, MNG Airlines General Manager. “Aviation has meant logistics for us since we were established as Turkey’s first private cargo airline. While we are growing with our New York and Toronto flights in the America continent, we are expanding our presence in the Asia region with our Uzbekistan and Kazakhistan flights.  We have fleet expansion plans with the A321P2F to meet the increasing market demand for short distance as well as the opportunity for highest fuel efficiency and lower cost per tones. I thank our customers and partners for their trust and loyalty. We will fulfill our responsibility to our employees, business partners and most importantly to the world. Our success would not have been possible without our customers, who have been with us all these years. But my biggest thanks go to our dedicated employees, who make MNG Airlines quarter-century brand.
