Under the agreement, PT Gapura Angkasa will provide cargo handling services for Turkish Cargo in accordance with the scope of services, procedures, and operational standards agreed upon by both parties.

Our partnership with Gapura Angkasa supports our operations at Soekarno-Hatta and Denpasar, helping us deliver consistent, seamless service to customers across the region. At Turkish Cargo, strong cargo handling partnerships are essential to that commitment, and we look forward to building on our collaboration with Gapura Angkasa going forward."
