Transporting goods to Turkey by air freight

Turkish Culture

In Turkish culture, people believe that “the length of the goodbye depends on the guest when they arrive, and on the host when they leave.”

According to the customs of this country, welcoming guests into one’s home is considered a great honor. The host will not let their guests leave easily.

During an evening visit, tea and sweets will be served. When fruit plates are brought out, it is a sign for the guest to start saying their goodbyes.

However, the farewell process takes quite a while before we actually step out of the host’s house.

The process of shipping goods to Turkey

Step 1: Customers send a booking request to Airport Cargo at least 1 day before the intended departure date.

Information required: transportation route, item name, weight, dimensions, and the estimated date of departure.

Step 2: Immediately after receiving the booking request from the customer, the air freight department of Airport Cargo will arrange the space and send a booking confirmation to the customer.

Lead time is 1-2 hours after receiving the customer’s request.

Step 3: The document department (Docs tea) of Airport Cargo collects information from the customer. An airway bill draft is issued for the customer to check and confirm.

Step 4: After the goods are loaded onto the airplane and transported, the status (processes at the airport, loading, labeling, etc.) will be updated to the customer by Airport Cargo through email with images.

Step 5: In the case where the customer avails of domestic transportation and customs declaration services from Airport Cargo, we will handle the customs clearance and deliver the goods to the customer’s specified address (Door delivery).
