Istanbul, 01.04.2020 - All of us are going through a difficult period unprecedented in our modern era of global connectivity. It is our sincere hope that our partners, providers, friends and all the millions of people in the aviation and travel industries will be able to stay safe and healthy, and to keep their spirits high. We wish everyone patience and strength to overcome these challenging times, and our hearts go out to all those affected.
Please rest assured that at Hitit, we continue to stand by our 30 partner airlines in 22 different countries by providing them with the essential IT services they require. We were able to quickly adapt to these disruptive conditions thanks to our agile organization and new-gen technology infrastructure, and we are continuing our operations without any interruptions. We stand ready to give a helping hand to the community 24/7, in whatever way we can.
For our industry, one silver lining to keep in mind is that every unique challenge also breeds unique opportunities. We can already witness this in action with the rapid surge in demand for air cargo. This could prove to be an alternative revenue stream and provide much-needed relief for airlines that have not entered the air cargo market yet. The urgent needs and demands of the Covid-19 crisis make air cargo shipments absolutely vital to the continuation of critical global supply chains such as the transportation of medicines and medical equipment.
Ensuring a seamless air cargo operation worldwide seems to be the best possible way forward for our industry as well as the global society at large, and Hitit is always ready to support the airlines who are eager to step up to the challenge. We are also acutely aware that as the entire world is struggling against the Covid-19 pandemic, our industry does so against time. And at this very moment it is not the passengers that fly, but time. In order to take the urgent steps needed to do your part in supporting the global collaboration while also safeguarding your future, Hitit is at your service with its rapid-implementation turnkey cargo solutions.
History has time and again proven how amazingly resilient our industry is, we are sure to overcome this challenge as one team.
Tough times eventually fade away, but solidarity endures!
