Air Freight from Turkey to France — Overview
France is one of Turkey's key European trading partners, with strong bilateral trade in textiles, automotive components, chemicals, and agri-food products. Paris Charles de Gaulle (CDG) is the primary cargo gateway, handling the majority of air freight between the two countries. Lyon Saint-Exupéry (LYS) and Marseille Provence (MRS) serve as important secondary hubs for regional distribution across southern France.
Air freight from Istanbul to Paris typically takes 1–2 business days, with multiple daily departures ensuring flexibility for shippers. Turkish Airlines Cargo and Air France Cargo both operate significant belly-hold and freighter capacity on this route, providing competitive rates across all weight categories. Our volume agreements with these carriers allow us to offer some of the most competitive rates on the Turkey–France corridor.
France operates under EU customs regulations, and all imports from Turkey must comply with EU import procedures. The EU-Turkey Customs Union facilitates trade in industrial goods, allowing many Turkish products to enter France duty-free with the appropriate EUR.1 certificate or invoice declaration. Our customs team manages all documentation, including import declarations, phytosanitary certificates for food products, and CE marking compliance for industrial goods.
Turkey Air Cargo provides comprehensive door-to-door services across France, with last-mile delivery partners covering Paris, Lyon, Marseille, Toulouse, Bordeaux, and all other major French cities. We also offer specialized handling for luxury goods, fashion items, and temperature-sensitive cargo — all key categories in the Turkey-France trade relationship.
