تركيا هي موقع تصويرك. نحن المحركون.

Istanbul's filming geography is exceptionally demanding. A single shooting day can span Beyoğlu's steep cobbled streets in the morning, a Boğaz waterfront location by midday, and a Karaköy warehouse interior by dusk. Getting a camera crew and their equipment between these locations — on time, without attrition — requires route knowledge that no mapping application can replicate.

We manage early call pickups across Üsküdar and the Adalar ferry connections on the Asian side, coordinating with multi-unit moves on the European side simultaneously. Our fleet of Mercedes Sprinters operates as departmental pods: the grip unit departs first, the camera crew follows on a staggered schedule, and the equipment vans run a parallel track to basecamp.

Multi-unit moves in Istanbul are a discipline of their own. When four departments need to relocate across the city within a two-hour window, the difference between a clean move and a production delay is a dispatcher who already knows which side street bypasses the Galata bottleneck at 07:00.

Recce trips in Turkey rarely follow a tidy schedule. A scout that begins in Istanbul at dawn may end in Cappadocia two days later, with an unplanned detour through Konya if a location manager spots something promising from the highway. We build our scouting transport around that reality.

We work directly alongside location scouts and fixers. Our drivers understand what a tech scout needs — patience at a site while the DP walks the light, the ability to hold position quietly when a production designer is sketching, and the discretion that NDA requirements demand from the first day of pre-production onwards.

For multi-city scout runs — Istanbul to Cappadocia, or Cappadocia through to Antalya in sequence — we coordinate overnight logistics, driver changeovers, and schedule flexibility for last-minute route changes. No call too late, no deviation too inconvenient.

Turkey's 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-format series — running for months on a single location schedule — require a transport infrastructure that can sustain consistency across an entire season.

We operate on weekly and monthly retainer arrangements for series productions. Cast transport and crew transport are distinct disciplines: a lead actor's schedule is determined episode by episode with late confirmations, while below-the-line crew movements follow a more predictable unit call-sheet rhythm. Both require dedicated vehicles and operators who understand the difference.

Whether you are coordinating a Turkish-language drama with an international co-production partner or managing an entirely foreign crew on location, BYZAS provides the continuity of service that a long-format schedule demands — the same drivers, the same standards, for the duration of your shoot.

International crews arriving via Istanbul Airport (IST) or Sabiha Gökçen (SAW)? We also operate a dedicated airline crew ground transportation service with Zero-Delay Policy and ADS-B flight tracking.
