Air waybill and Air Cargo
An airway bill (also known as an airbill or AWB) is a legal document used in the transport of goods by air. It serves as a contract between the shipper (usually the seller or exporter) and the carrier (airline or freight forwarder) that outlines the terms and conditions of the shipment.
The airway bill contains information such as the name and address of the shipper and consignee, the origin and destination of the shipment, a description of the goods being transported, and the weight and volume of the shipment. It also includes details about the cost of the shipment, the type of service being provided, and any special instructions or requirements for the shipment.
The airway bill serves as proof of shipment and delivery, and is an essential document for customs clearance and the release of the goods at the destination. It is usually issued by the carrier or its agent and is often sent electronically, though physical copies may also be used.
Some items may endanger the safety of an aircraft or persons on board, and these dangerous materials can either be forbidden or restricted for air transport. IATA leads industry efforts to ensure the safe transport of dangerous goods by air. We provide a great variety of technical knowledge, products, services and training solutions, tailored to satisfy industry needs.
The development of standards for documentation, handling and training, as well as the promotion and use, contributed to achieving a very high degree of safety in the transport of dangerous goods by air.
Dangerous Goods Regulations
IATA works closely with local governments and ICAO in the development of regulations. This way, we ensure that the rules and guidelines on dangerous goods transport are effective and operational practical. The IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations (DGR) manual is the global reference for shipping dangerous goods by air and the only standard recognized by airlines
