Frequently Asked Questions: Air Cargo from Turkey
Guidance on volumetric weight calculations, hazardous materials (DGR), and airport cut-off times.
How is air freight chargeable weight calculated?
IATA enforces a 1:6000 volumetric ratio (1 m³ = 167 kg). Chargeable weight is the greater of actual gross weight and volumetric weight (calculated as Length × Width × Height in cm divided by 6,000).
Can lithium batteries and dangerous goods be shipped by air from Turkey?
Yes. Our certified IATA DGR specialists inspect, package, and label hazardous materials, ensuring full compliance with airline embargoes and IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations.
What is the cut-off time for same-day air freight at Istanbul Airport?
For standard scheduled flights, cargo and customs documents should arrive at our IST air cargo terminal at least 6 to 8 hours prior to scheduled departure time.
