This TIF includes information about recommended carriage limits for solid carbon dioxide (CO2), commonly known as
dry ice, on B737, B747, B777, B787, A318, A319, A320, A321, A330, A340 and A350 airplanes.

Dry ice is carried aboard airplane generally for the preservation of food (galley or cargo), medicine, etc. The sublimation
of dry ice (converting from solid state to gaseous state), may result in significant concentrations of gaseous CO2 in
airplanes. High concentrations of CO2 may affect the breathing of passengers and crew as can be seen Table 1. For this
reason, carriage limits are established.

CO2 CONCENTRATION (%) PHYSIOLOGICAL EFFECT

0.3 NORMAL RESPIRATION
0.5 SLIGHT INCREASE IN RESPIRATION
2 RESPIRATION INCREASED 50%
3 RESPIRATION INCREASED 100%
5 RESPIRATION INCREASED 300%
12-15 UNCONSCIOUSNESS
Table 1: Physiological effects of CO2 at Various Concentration

Many factors can affect the rate at which dry ice sublimates. These factors include, but are not limited to; ambient
compartment temperature, amount of insulation surrounding the dry ice, type of container, amount of surface area of the
dry ice and the temperature of the cargo being cooled by the dry ice. Sublimation rates may be obtained from shippers or
may be calculated from service experience by measuring the percentage of dry ice lost (sublimated) over time. According
to FAA AC-91-76A, the experimentally determined sublimation rate for large (100 lbs.) amounts of dry ice per single
package is 1 %/hour. The experimentally determined rate for small (5 lbs.) amounts of dry ice per single package is 2%/hr.
Sublimation rate value can be determined as 2%hr for THY operation due to using 5 lbs amounts of dry ice per single
package as a refrigerant for perishables, medicines etc. by THY.

WARNING: IN CASE OF USING LESS THAN 5 LBS AMOUNT OF DRY ICE PER SINGLE PACKAGE BY
THY, SUBLIMATION RATE CAN BE INCREASED MORE THAN %2HR AND RECOMMENDED MAX DRY ICE
CARRIAGE LIMITS IN THE ATTACHED TABLES (TABLE 2 AND TABLE 3) SHALL NOT BE USED. DUE TO
SAFETY REASON THAT HIGH CONCENTRATIONS OF CO2 IN THE AIRCRAFT CAN CAUSE AIRCREW
INCAPACITATION.

Rules for carriage of dry ice on A318, A319, A320, A321, A330, A340, A350, B737, B747, B777 and B787 Aircraft

1- Prior to entering any compartment in which a large amount of dry ice has been loaded, ensure adequate ventilation is
provided to that compartment with the use of air conditioning packs, ground carts, or by opening the respective main
cargo door. Similar precautions should be followed when entering any equipment center adjacent to a cargo
compartment carrying dry ice. Otherwise, the use of 100 percent portable oxygen is recommended.

2- In spite of the fact that transport of live animals in the same (or adjacent) cargo compartment with dry ice is not
recommended by aircraft manufacturers, being under sole responsibility of the operator, live animals can be
transported in the same (or adjacent) cargo compartment with dry ice provided that the restrictions in IATA Live
Animal Regulations (LAR) Chapter 10.3.4 are strictly followed and applied.

3- All air conditioning packs (or on ground equivalent ground cart ventilation), cargo ventilation systems of A340
airplane should be operating at all times while persons are on board an airplane transporting dry ice.

4- Avoid storing dry ice on airplanes for extended periods of time unless adequate and continuous ventilation is provided.

5- For airplanes with lower lobe galleys, no more than 100 pounds of dry ice should be carried in the aft cargo and main
cargo compartments combined, and no more than 100 pounds in the forward cargo compartment.

6- Per IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations, notify the flight crew, written form, as soon as possible prior to aircraft
departure when dry ice is shipped as cargo. There is no minimum quantity (special Load Notification to Captain –
NOTOC).

7- Personnel should be alert for symptoms of excessive CO2 gas concentrations when around dry ice (symptoms:
headache, muscular weakness, ringing in the ears, shortness of breath, dizziness, drowsiness).

8- Provided that the amount of dry ice in the airplane does not exceed the total recommended limit, the dry ice can be
divided in any manner between the airplane cargo compartments.

9- The amount of dry ice carried by passengers and the dry ice used for the main deck galleys should be taken into
consideration when determining the total airplane allowable dry ice carriage amount.

10- If a Lower Lobe Attendance Rest (LLAR) is installed in the lower lobe compartment, dry ice may still be transported
in that lower lobe cargo compartment, if all systems are operating properly. If the LLAR supply system is not operating
properly, it is possible for CO2 to enter the LLAR. As a precaution, if the LLAR is not operating properly and dry ice
is carried in the cargo compartment, the LLAR should be kept closed and unoccupied for the duration of the flight,
and then opened to ventilate after all passenger have left the airplane, and prior to new passenger entering the airplane.

11- Documents released by ICAO, IATA, FAA, JAA, Turkish CAA includes further information for dry ice, these
documents should be investigated (example documents: “ICAO “Regulations for safe transport of dangerous goods
by air – Doc. 9284-AN/905), IATA “ Dangerous goods regulations”, FAA “Advisory Circular –91-76”), JAR OPS1,
subpart R (JAR Regulations for Transport of dangerous goods by AIR)).

A318, A319, A320, A321, A330, and A350 Aircraft

Airbus aircraft performance data are available in the ISI / Wise Article 25.50.00011 in order to advise in detail on dry ice
transportation in Airbus aircraft. Maximum quantity of dry ice per cargo compartment with ventilation system can be
determined using reference ISI / Wise Article 25.50.00011.

In case there is no adequate ventilation in the compartment, very low amount of dry ice is recommended.

Please see Table 2 for max allowable dry ice carriage limits in THY Airbus fleet as per registration.

WARNING: IF THERE IS AN ABSENCE OF VENTILATION AND/OR VENTILATION SYSTEM IS NOT

OPERATIVE AT ANY CARGO COMPARTMENT, STORING DRY ICE IS NOT PERMITTED FOR THIS
RELATED CARGO COMPARTMENT.

NOTE: Storing dry ice in A330/A340/A350 (except TC-JOM) AFT cargo is not permitted since AFT cargo has no
ventilation system. In addition, A319/320/321 family does not have ventilation at FWD cargo compartment and some of
them do not have ventilation at both AFT and FWD cargo compartment.

B737, B747, B777 and B787 Aircraft
The attached figures provide recommended maximum allowable carriage loads based upon sublimation rates. In general,
higher sublimation rates will reduce the amount of dry ice that allowed carrying.

EASA and FAA have provided exemption allowing for carriage of cargo on the main deck of passenger airplanes due to
the impact of COVID-19. Boeing has calculated the recommended maximum amount of dry ice carriage in the aircraft, as
long as the total number of main cabin occupants does not exceed 15 people. The attached figures (Figure 13 to Figure 22)
are valid for airplanes utilizing the main deck cargo carriage exemption (carrying cargo in passenger aircraft cabin). Even
if all cargo will be loaded in the lower lobe, these curves are still valid for airplanes where the main cabin occupants do
not exceed 15. These limits are for the total level of the aircraft, and do not depend on the compartment where the dry ice
is loaded. This new guidance does not intend to supersede any regulatory authority guidance on the subject, previously
provided charts are still in effect when aircraft is in its normal operation (not carrying cargo in cabin). This new guidance
will expire when the exemptions provided by EASA and FAA no longer valid.

In the light of acceptances (2%/hr sublimation rate) and operator experiences, dry ice carriage limits (for both normal
operation and operation with minimal cabin occupant) can be determined in Table 3. If sublimation rate differs from
2%/hr, do not use Table 3 and go to figures listed in Table 4.

Max carriage limits of dry ice as seen Table 3 shall be used with only 2 pack modes. In the case of a loss of a single air
conditioning pack in flight, diversion is not required. However, Boeing does not recommend carrying the maximum
quantity of dry ice with the packs in a single pack mode. During descent on a single pack the outflow valve will be mostly
closed and there is a potential that the Carbon Dioxide will not be completely ventilated (particularly with older, leaky
airplanes). For a 2-pack airplane (B737, B777, B787) when Minimum Equipment List (MEL) dispatching with 1 pack out,
Boeing advises not carrying Dry Ice for safety reasons. Should the remaining single pack fail with Dry Ice on board, the
Carbon Dioxide will accumulate in the cabin.

WARNING: IF THERE IS PACK FAILURE ON A/C, DO NOT CARRY DRY ICE.

NOTE: There are some general guidelines provided by Boeing that should be followed to avoid the accumulation of CO 2
in unwanted areas.
 Avoid placing dry ice in the areas near a recirculation fan.
 Do not transport animals in the same cargo compartment with dry ice or in the lower cargo compartments
when a large amount of dry ice is carried in the main deck cargo compartment.
 If there is a choice of where to locate the dry ice, place the dry ice low in the aft lower lobe. The natural
negative buoyancy of the cold carbon dioxide gas will naturally travel toward the aft outflow valve.
 If the main deck CO2 concentration gets high, when the cargo door is opened the CO 2 will spill out because
it is colder and heavier. Anyone at or below the cargo door may receive a high concentration. Precautions
should be taken for the initial door opening.

Generally, sublimation rates provided for shipments using dry ice has been 1% per hour or higher. However, developments
in dry ice packages resulted in sublimation rates below 1% per hour. Therefore, Boeing prepared charts for use with
sublimation rates below 1% per hour. Those charts are listed in Table-4 and attached to this TIF.
