Key policies
Baggage allowance
As NCA is a dedicated commercial freight carrier, standard passenger baggage policies do not apply. Cargo is accepted based on weight, volume, and Unit Load Device (ULD) capacity through certified freight forwarding agreements.
Change policy
Air waybill (AWB) modifications and routing changes must be processed through an authorized freight forwarder. Change fees and routing flexibilities depend on the specific cargo tariff and departure timeframe.
Check-in
Cargo tender (drop-off) and documentation cut-off times vary by departure airport, security requirements, and shipment type. Shippers must coordinate directly with local NCA cargo handling facilities in advance.
