full export pack the goods and take them to the

as above except that the consignment is delivered
to your door not to the airport and the cost is
considerably higher).

While in the ocean freight cargo business the word
"container" is widely accepted, in the air freight
cargo business the proper term is "unit load
device", or more commonly ULD.
ULDs are generally classified as
lower deck containers and upper deck containers.
Lower deck containers generally have smaller base
dimensions than upper deck containers as a result
of the curvature of the airplane body.
Since a great deal of cargo is carried on
commercial passenger flights, there are generally
more lower deck than upper deck containers.
Below is an example of a lower deck ULD:

What is
IATA?
|
|
IATA (International
Air Transport Association) is
a non-political
trade association
comprising the world's international airline industry>.
IATA brings together approximately 270
airlines, including the world's largest. Continual efforts
by IATA ensure that freight
can move around the vast global airline network as
easily as if it were on a
single airline in a single country.
|
| |
The IATA promotes:
- cooperation between airlines, and exchange of information.
- cooperation with international organisations.
- the standardisation of rates and conditions.
- the reduction of the bureaucratic formalities to a minimum.
|
| |
Recognition as an
IATA agent
has become a hallmark of
quality for the airlines and public at large.
To
become an accredited IATA
agent you
have to demonstrate financial soundness,
proficiency of staff and the suitability and
security of the premises.
To remain members, all
accredited
agents are required to undergo annual
checks by IATA. Britannia Southern
guarantees that only accredited IATA agents are
employed to handle your shipment thus permitting a
professional and prompt service from start to
finish.

The
Air Waybill explained:
|
What is the function of the Air
Waybill?
An Air Waybill is documentary proof of the contract of
carriage between the shipper and the carrier.
It also serves as a:
|
|
1.
Receipt of goods for shipment.
2. Dispatch note, bearing a list of all attached
documents, and any special instructions given by the
shipper.
3. Form of invoice for the carriage of the goods.
4. Document required for Customs clearance.
5. Delivery receipt.
6. Official insurance certificate
if the insurance cover was arranged through the airline.
|
|
Who issues the Air Waybill?
Air Waybills are sets of forms, following the IATA
standard form. They are issued by the airlines
or their accredited agents, and each one has on it a serial number and the name and the
three digit identification number of the issuing airline.
An Air Waybill is not a title document, it is not
negotiable. An Air Waybill is a document which has the
same importance in air freight as a
Bill of Lading has in sea freight, but, whereas a B/L is a
title document, (i.e. it is a document which proves
ownership of the goods mentioned in the B/L, and which can
be bought and sold, entitling the buyer to ownership of
the goods), an AWB cannot be used in this way.
The words non-negotiable are printed at the top of
the Air Waybill, and must not be changed or removed.
