Why Mersin? The Çukurova Airport and Port Factor in Textile Logistics

Turkey’s strength in textile production is undeniable. However, delivering this strength to global markets in the fastest and most efficient way is the key to success. The selection of “Mersin” as the location for the Mediterranean International Textile Fair, organized by Kapital Expo on January 14-17, 2026, is not a coincidence but a strategic decision.

So, what makes Mersin such a critical “base” for textile trade?

1. The Heart of Logistics: Mersin Port Mersin International Port is one of the largest and busiest container ports in the Mediterranean. This gateway, which opens directly to the European, Middle Eastern, and African markets, offers both cost and time advantages for textile exporters. Our fair offers participants the opportunity to be at the center of this massive logistics network.

2. The Game-Changing Power: Çukurova International Airport The newly opened Çukurova International Airport is another major project that is changing the face of the region. This airport not only speeds up cargo transportation but also ensures that international “Buying Office” managers, importers, and supply chain experts from around the world can reach our fair comfortably and quickly.

3. Integrated Advantages: Free Zone and Storage Mersin’s Free Zone advantages and advanced storage facilities facilitate the operational processes of textile companies.

The Mediterranean Textile Fair will bring all these strategic advantages together with industry professionals, making Mersin a new hub for textile trade.
