Transportation Coordinators

Here is how the picture comes together. We supply transport coordinators who plan and run the movement of people and gear for shoots in Turkey, managing car fleets, drivers, schedules and the logistics of getting a unit where it needs to be on time. Our team places coordinators who organise crew shuttles, cast cars, gear trucks and pro transport, plan routes across Istanbul's congested two-continent geography, and set up moves to Cappadocia, the Turquoise Coast and remote locations. Because Turkish schedules often span many regions, the transport coordinators we engage are used at tricky logistics, work in Turkish lira and build transport budgets that fit within the up-to-30% cash rebates.

Here is what we have to work with. Turkey's transport logistics are well developed, supported by a road network linking Istanbul, Ankara, Antalya and the regions, and by domestic flights that shorten long moves across the country's transcontinental span. The 'dizi' industry — the country is the world's second-largest exporter of television series after the United States — has built transport operations used to steady production and to moving large crews between locations. Coordinators handle the practicalities of Istanbul traffic, ferry crossings on the Bosphorus and access to heritage and rural sites. The favourable Turkish lira keeps fleet and driver costs strongly competitive, making transport one of the smoother logistical elements of a Turkish shoot.
