Road transport

The truck docks at the terminal, the goods are unloaded into the bonded warehouse; storage, handling and reloading all run under one roof.

Our terminal serves road vehicles as well as air cargo. Trucks are unloaded at our customs custody terminal inside Çorlu Airport, the goods are placed on the racks and held under customs supervision until clearance is complete.

Bonded warehouse instead of on-vehicle clearance

No clearance on the vehicle; goods enter the warehouse

Çorlu Airport Customs Directorate does not apply “supalan” — clearing goods on the vehicle without placing them into a bonded warehouse. Goods arriving by road are therefore unloaded into our customs custody terminal without exception, and declaration and inspection take place while the goods are in the warehouse.

This does not slow the job down; it puts it in order. The vehicle does not wait at the dock — once unloaded, it moves on. Every piece is counted and weighed, assigned a rack location and entered into the terminal records, so it is clear where each item is and how many days it has been waiting.

  • Docking and unloading under customs supervision
  • Piece count, weight and damage report; 10-tonne platform scale
  • Rack addressing and inventory records
  • Transparent day-by-day storage accounting
  • Reloading and release once formalities are complete

How it runs

From dock to rack, from rack to road

The journey of a road shipment through the terminal.

  1. Entry and paperwork

    The vehicle enters the bonded airport area through a controlled gate. Paperwork is handled at the customs directorate right next to the terminal building, open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

  2. Unloading

    Six height-adjustable loading platforms, a telescopic conveyor that reaches inside the vehicle, forklifts and pallet trucks empty the trailer quickly.

  3. Weighing and inspection

    Weighing on the 10-tonne platform scale, piece count and damage assessment; cargo is passed through the X-ray where required.

  4. Storage

    Goods are placed at a rack location and held under customs supervision until clearance is complete. Storage is charged per day and tracked in the terminal system.

  5. Release and loading

    Once formalities are done the goods are loaded onto the vehicle. On request we arrange transport within Türkiye, to Eastern Europe and to the Middle East.

Express cargo

Our express cargo authorisation covers road as well

The terminal is also authorised for goods carried as express cargo. Alongside consignments arriving by air, express cargo moved by road vehicles is accepted in the same warehouse, sorted, and released for distribution once customs formalities are complete.

  • Separate acceptance and sorting for express cargo
  • Piece-level records, X-ray screening and inspection
  • Customs directorate next door, open 24 hours
  • Air and road consignments consolidated under one roof
