A missing component can stop an automotive production line. A prototype or premium vehicle cannot simply be treated like another piece of cargo. In automotive logistics, speed matters—but precision matters just as much.
NAP Airline Partner Turkish Cargo has introduced TK AUTO, a specialised air cargo product developed for the sensitive and time-critical requirements of the global automotive industry.
Officially launched during Air Cargo China, TK AUTO combines two solutions designed around very different automotive missions: keeping production moving and transporting finished vehicles safely.
From critical parts to complete vehicles
TK AUTO PART supports the fast and flexible transportation of automotive components, including engines, transmission parts, braking systems, airbags and electric-vehicle equipment. Priority loading helps urgent parts reach manufacturers and aftermarket operators before delays begin affecting production.
TK AUTO FINISHED is designed for passenger cars, electric vehicles, prototypes, test vehicles, motorcycles and luxury automobiles. Tailored loading plans are prepared for each shipment, while certified loadmaster teams oversee securing, loading and unloading.
For premium and high-value vehicles, Turkish Cargo’s LUXE service adds secure storage at the SMARTIST hub, priority handling and photographic documentation at key stages of the journey.
Digital booking through TKGO is available for automotive parts, while customised volume calculations help accelerate pre-booking for finished vehicles.
TK AUTO reflects the reality of modern automotive supply chains: one solution cannot fit every shipment. By combining speed, specialist handling and greater operational visibility, Turkish Cargo is creating a dedicated airfreight structure for an industry where disruption is costly and every detail counts.
