Ozkazanc has been at Turkish cargo carrier MNG Airlines for more than twenty years. 

MNG has been expanding its fleet with A330Fs, leasing a 2008-vintage A330-300P2F (964, ex-China Southern Airlines) from CDB Aviation in August 2024 after Mas returned it. MNG also acquired a 2015-vintage production A330-200F (1594) from French shipping company CMA CGM in the beginning of 2024.  

The carrier operates five A330Fs and has plans to add its youngest A330-300P2F, the 2014-vintage, Trent 700-powered unit 1510 (ex-Philippine Airlines), likely later this year. 

MNG entered the Airbus narrowbody segment in 2023 with a pair of 2008-vintage A321-200P2Fs (3369 and 3669, ex-Cathay) on lease from Juniper Aviation Investments. 

The rest of MNG’s fleet consists of four 1989- to 1999-vintage A300-600Fs, including two in operation with Slovenia-based subsidiary Solinair.
