Said Ekşi: "efforts to increase our presence in this prominent region continue unabated with the work of our competent teams and our R&D activities. In an era when global aviation is shifting from West to East, these efforts are even more meaningful."
Dang said: "the cooperation between Vietnam Airlines and Turkish Airlines has been established on the basis of mutual benefit. Turkish Airlines will benefit from expanding the scale of its transportation network to previously limited areas such as Oceania and Northeast Asia by taking advantage of Vietnam's central geographical location as a transit point. By using freighters and connecting to the Turkish Airlines network of 345 destinations around the world, Vietnam Airlines also can significantly expand its scale. We are confident this cooperation will facilitate Vietnam in becoming one of the leading logistics centers in the Asia-Pacific."
