DIE TÜRKEI IST IHR SET. WIR SIND IHRE MOVER.

Istanbul's filming geography is extremely demanding. A single day may span the steep cobblestone streets of Beyoglu in the morning, the Bosphorus waterfront at midday, and a warehouse in Karakoy by evening. Transporting camera crews and equipment safely between these locations in time-critical, zero-loss conditions requires route knowledge that no GPS can replicate.

We manage coordinated early-morning transfers via the Uskudar and Adalar Ferry systems, and multi-unit synchronized dispatch on the European side. Mercedes Sprinter fleets operate in split groups: focus pullers depart first, camera department follows on staggered schedules, while equipment trucks parallel to base camp.

Executing multi-unit crew transfers across Istanbul is a discipline in itself. When four departments need to complete a cross-city transfer within two hours, what determines success is the dispatcher who at 7 AM already knows which alley to take to bypass Galata congestion.

Scouting in Turkey rarely goes as planned. A recce that starts in Istanbul may end in Cappadocia two days later, with the on-site scout manager spotting a promising location from the highway and diverting to Konya. We build transport plans around this reality.

We work directly with on-site scouts and local fixers. Our drivers know what scouting requires - quietly waiting while the DP scouts the shot, holding their breath during art direction sketches, observing NDA protocols from day one of pre-production.

For multi-city scouting routes - from Istanbul to Cappadocia, or from Cappadocia down to Antalya - we coordinate overnight accommodation, driver shifts, and last-minute detours with high flexibility, ensuring seamless transitions regardless of when the day ends.

The Turkish television industry has undergone a structural shift. What was once a domestic market has evolved into a significant production hub for international co-productions and streaming commissions. Long-form series production - shooting on a single location for months - requires a transport system that can sustain an entire season of high-intensity shooting.

We provide dedicated on-location transport packages for series production clients (weekly/monthly retainer model). Lead talent and crew transport are two different disciplines: lead schedules are confirmed per episode, while department crew follows a relatively predictable call sheet rhythm - both need dedicated vehicles and operations staff who understand the difference.

Whether you're co-producing a Turkish-language series with international partners or managing an entire foreign crew on location, BYZAS delivers the service continuity that long-form production requires - same driver, same standards, throughout the entire season.

International crews landing at Istanbul Airport (IST) or Sabiha Gokcen (SAW)? We also operate dedicated Crew Ground Transport Services with no-delay policies and ADS-B flight tracking.
