Turkish Cargo will launch a weekly nonstop cargo service between Istanbul and Moscow Sheremetyevo on 31 October 2026, expanding the Turkish Airlines cargo subsidiary’s Russian network. The dedicated freighter link will operate as part of the 2026/27 winter timetable, with Istanbul serving as the connecting hub for international air-freight shipments to and from Moscow.
The service will provide a direct cargo connection to Sheremetyevo and add the airport to Turkish Cargo’s network of Russian destinations. Shipments routed through Istanbul will gain another option for connections between Moscow and international markets served by the carrier.
No aircraft type, flight number, departure times or cargo capacity have been disclosed. The available information also does not include traffic forecasts, commercial targets or a detailed rationale from Turkish Cargo or Turkish Airlines for the new route.
