## Description

Where a Caspian ferry berth meets an airport apron, Turkmenbashi International Airport (KRW) offers a rare sea-air switch on Turkmenistan's western coast. Its international cargo terminal, built with automated handling and rated at up to 200,000 tonnes a year, sits beside the Turkmenbashi International Seaport completed in 2018. Goods moving along the trans-Caspian corridor can shift between aircraft, ferry and truck here, typically onward to Baku and the Caucasus. Turkmenistan Airlines serves the airport, which also handles tourist traffic for the nearby Awaza resort. For forwarders the appeal is the combination of trans-Caspian sea freight with an air option under one customs umbrella. As elsewhere in the country, documentation must be prepared carefully, but port and airport formalities can be bundled.
