Turkish Cargo has introduced TK AUTO, a logistics product specially developed for the sensitive and time-critical transportation needs of the automotive industry, at a launch event held during the Air Cargo China exhibition. Comprising two segments, TK AUTO provides fast and reliable transportation solutions for different operational requirements through its AUTO PART and AUTO FINISHED options.

TK AUTO PART has been designed for the fast, reliable, and flexible transportation of critical automotive components required in both manufacturing and aftermarket operations, including engine and transmission components, braking systems, airbags, and electric vehicle equipment. Shipments within this service scope are handled with priority loading procedures compared to general cargo, helping ensure the uninterrupted continuity of production processes.

TK AUTO FINISHED has been developed for the transportation of motorized passenger cars, electric vehicles, prototype and test vehicles, as well as luxury and premium segment automobiles, in addition to special vehicles such as motorcycles, ATVs, Sea-Doos, and Ski-Doos.

Commenting on the launch, Turkish Airlines Chief Cargo Officer, Ali Türk said: “In automotive logistics, need-specific solutions are as important as speed. Therefore, in developing TK AUTO, we aimed to provide an end-to-end structure capable of meeting the diverse operational requirements of the automotive industry. In this way, we are able to effectively manage sensitive processes ranging from time-critical spare parts transportation that supports production continuity to high-value vehicle operations. While our reservation processes are supported by digital integration, our on-site operations are carried out by expert teams and defined procedures. With this dedicated structure of TK AUTO, we provide not only the speed requirements of the automotive industry but also production continuity and greater visibility in transportation processes. As Turkish Cargo, we will continue to provide reliable solutions to the evolving needs of our business partners through our extensive flight network, modern infrastructure, and expertise in special cargo transportation.”
