Air cargo /Shipping Turkey to Pakistan

Having had my Iran visa rejected days before crossing the border. I am now looking for a way to freight my KTM 990 from Turkey to Pakistan or maybe even Oman to Pakistan if I can safely ride through Iraq to Saudi.
Does anyone know of any companies that can do this?
Thank you very much in advance.
Alex

I'd start from https://www.turkishcargo.com.tr/en. Turkish flies widebodies to Pakistan multiple times daily.

Hi David,

Sorry to hear that. Crazy as it sounds my cheapest and best and fastest option was to ride back to UK and freight from there, I spent 2 weeks trying to arrange this in Turkey, I had various meetings but it was almost impossible to find a company that could handle it and find a sensible price unfortunately.
Kathy at moto freight UK has been amazing, drop her an email as she has a contact in Pakistan and will be able to arrange freight for you. One thing to note though is Pakistan has some crazy taxes for this service. But the actual airfreight cost was very reasonable from moto freight.

Drop me a message and I can pass you her details. Good luck.
