## Description

Nearly 34 million US dollars of foreign-trade business passed through the cargo facility at Bursa Yenişehir Airport (IATA: YEI, ICAO: LTBR) in the first eight months of 2025 — a figure that says more about the airport than its passenger numbers do. The facility, run by the logistics arm of the Bursa chamber of commerce BTSO, holds customs-bonded temporary storage status and offers temperature control down to minus 25 degrees Celsius, working with Turkish Cargo to move bonded consignments between Bursa and Istanbul. No regular freighter operation is documented at YEI itself: shipments travel under customs seal by truck to Istanbul, where Turkish Cargo lifts them. On the passenger side, the DHMİ-operated airport some 50 km east of Bursa handled roughly 194,300 domestic and 52,900 international travellers in 2025, the international figure up about 136 per cent after Düsseldorf and Stuttgart services began; the 28,217 aircraft movements, 55 per cent more than in 2024, point to a large share of training and general aviation. For a region built on automotive manufacturing, textiles, machinery and agricultural exports, the cold-chain capability matters most, since perishable and temperature-controlled goods would otherwise run unrefrigerated to Istanbul. The actual gateways are Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen (SAW), about 120 km away, and Istanbul Airport (IST), roughly 180 km, home to Turkish Cargo's hub, with the Marmara port of Gemlik and the Osmangazi Bridge motorway completing the multimodal picture and a high-speed rail link to Bursa under construction.
