Turkish Cargo continues to grow its African freighter network and has added a route to Kano – its second connection in Nigeria and adding to a service already run to Lagos.

The Airbus A330 Freighter service will start tomorrow (4 July) and operate on an Istanbul – Kano – Dakar – Istanbul routing.

The carrier says Kano has a thriving leather product industry and is where manufacturers are located with exports to European countries and other important markets such as India and Sudan.

Turkish recently added freighter routes to Johannesburg in South Africa and Madagascar.
