Tangerang (ANTARA) - PT Gapura Angkasa and Turkish Cargo, a division of Turkish Airlines, have entered into a cooperation agreement for cargo handling services at two major airports: Soekarno-Hatta International Airport (CGK) and I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport (DPS).
The Chief Executive Officer of PT Gapura Angkasa, Ichwan F. Agus, stated in Tangerang on Friday that this partnership represents a significant milestone in strengthening the company’s position as a strategic partner for international airlines in Indonesia, particularly regarding cargo handling services.

In its implementation, Ichwan continued, the company will provide cargo handling services for Turkish Cargo in accordance with the scope of services, procedures, and operational standards agreed upon by both parties.
