Airport identification and collection planning

Plan a confirmed airport lost-property collection in Turkey

Turkey has several airports and more than one possible holding office at each location. Start by identifying the airport, who has confirmed the item and where it can be released. We then assess the collection route and onward delivery.

Istanbul Airport and Sabiha Gokcen are separate locations

IST and SAW are different airports with separate journeys and collection arrangements. A message saying “Istanbul airport” is not enough to plan a pickup. Check the airport on the found-item confirmation and the office named in it. For an item confirmed at IGA Istanbul Airport Lost & Found, follow the dedicated Istanbul Airport collection page.

Antalya and other airports need their own review

For Antalya or another airport, send the actual holding-office contact and pickup instructions. We assess whether collection can be arranged in that location before quoting. A completed case in one city is not proof of permanent availability at every Turkish airport. There is a published Antalya iPad case below showing one individual collection and return to Germany.

Items left on a plane and missing checked baggage

Tell us where the item was left and which organisation says it has possession. Airport Lost & Found, an airline and a handling office can be separate contacts. If checked baggage has not been returned by the airline, start with that airline’s baggage process. This courier service is for an item that a named office has located and is willing to release.

Returning home before the collection is complete

Once you know the collection location, send your destination country and postal code. We can review local hand delivery or an eligible international shipment after the release conditions are clear. Keep any onward flight deadline separate from a home-delivery request. Packing, carrier acceptance and recipient details are checked for the actual item rather than assumed from a previous airport case.

Questions about this service

Can I book without knowing which airport holds the item?

Identify the airport and the holding office first. The pickup journey and release instructions depend on those facts.

Do all airports accept the same authorisation?

No. Follow the instructions supplied by the office holding the item. We review the relevant instructions before dispatch.
