Turkish Airlines has appointed Ali Türk as Chief Cargo Officer effective January 1, 2024 following the resignation of Turhan Özen, who has been in the position since October 2016. Turhan Özen, who joined Turkish Airlines with over 25 years of experience in supply chain management and logistics sectors, significantly increased the revenues and global market share of the airline's cargo brand, Turkish Cargo. In early 2022, Turkish Cargo moved to SmartIst, Europe's largest air cargo facility, and recorded significant improvements in customer focus, service quality, and product range during this period.

Türk graduated from Istanbul Technical University's Department of Industrial Engineering and completed an Executive MBA programme at the same university. He began his career in 1999 and held positions at Basak Hayat Insurance, Ülker Group of Companies, and Ceva Logistics before joining Turkish Airlines in 2011. He was appointed Head of Cargo in 2012.

In May 2016, he started working at Turkcell, and from March 2017 to December 2023, he served as Deputy General Manager of Supply Chain Management at Turkcell and its group companies, responsible for procurement, logistics, leasing, contract data management, transition rights, construction, and real estate processes. Meanwhile, Turkish Airlines has amended the organisational structure, with the position of Chief Commercial Officer being modified to Chief Operational Officer. Following this decision, Kerem Sarp, who served as the Chief Commercial Officer, will continue as the General Manager of Ajet Air Transport, and Mehmet Akif Konar has been appointed as the Chief Operational Officer.
