Minister of Transport and Infrastructure Abdulkadir Uraloğlu stated, "With Türksat 6A, we have exported satellite capacity for the first time to the most remote areas in the east."

Minister of Transport and Infrastructure Abdulkadir Uraloğlu made evaluations regarding the first export carried out via Türksat 6A at the CABSAT 2025 Fair held in Dubai.

FIRST SATELLITE EXPORT

Highlighting the progress Türksat has made in satellite services, Uraloğlu announced that with the agreements made in Dubai, Turkey has sold capacity to West and South Asia through its first domestically developed communication satellite, Türksat 6A. Minister Uraloğlu noted that the agreement signed with a Dubai-based company is a historic step in terms of both technical capability and commercial success.

Uraloğlu said: "Türksat satellites provide services in a very wide geography from Western Europe to India, and from Central Asia to South Africa. Previously, we had exported satellite communication services by providing services to many international companies with our other satellites. At this point, we have exported satellite capacity for the first time to the most remote areas in the east with Türksat 6A, a product of Turkish engineering. With this sale, Türksat has started to directly serve the South Asian market, covering countries such as India, Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia. This is not just a capacity sale; it is also a testament to Turkey's technological sovereignty in space."

"TÜRKSAT IS NOW A GLOBAL PLAYER"

Minister Uraloğlu emphasized the strategic contributions of the sale, stating that Türksat has become a strong satellite operator not only for Turkey but also for regional countries and global markets. Uraloğlu expressed that the agreement will ensure the international market integration of Türksat 6A while also increasing Turkey's satellite services revenue, saying, "Now, Türksat, which can reach 5 billion people within the coverage area of our satellites, provides services in satellite technologies much more powerfully. With its satellite fleet, including Türksat 6A, which is a product of 100% Turkish engineering, Türksat can reach 65% of the world. Türksat, which is recognized worldwide, has now become one of Turkey's international brands as a global player," he said.

"NOW WE ARE NOT JUST WATCHING IN SPACE, WE ARE THE ONES GIVING DIRECTION"

Uraloğlu pointed out that this sale carried out through Türksat 6A is significant as it marks the first commercial export of a national communication satellite developed by Turkish engineers, stating: "We had generated export revenue for our country by signing contracts with many international companies with Türksat's satellite fleet. We planned our satellite fleet according to international service goals. Today, we are seeing the concrete result of this planning. The export made through Türksat 6A at CABSAT is also an indication of how far our country has moved away from dependence on foreign technology in high-tech fields. Now we are not just observers in space, but we are the ones giving direction."

"TÜRKSAT HAS INCREASED ITS BRAND VALUE IN THE INTERNATIONAL ARENA"

Minister Uraloğlu emphasized that with the export, Türksat has become an operator in the South Asian market, where it previously could not actively enter, thus strengthening its position in international competition. Uraloğlu stated, "With this agreement, Türksat has further increased its brand value in the international arena. Türksat has strengthened its position among satellite operators in the international arena."
