Key policies
Baggage allowance
As a dedicated cargo airline, traditional passenger baggage allowances do not apply. Shipments are calculated by volumetric weight, utilizing industry-standard ULD (Unit Load Device) containers tailored to Boeing 777F specifications.
Change policy
Air Waybill (AWB) modifications, re-routings, and flight changes must be processed through authorized freight forwarders. Changes are subject to terminal conditions and must occur prior to export customs clearance.
Check-in
Cargo acceptance cutoff times vary by terminal, destination, and commodity type. Standard freight typically must be tendered 4 to 6 hours before departure, while specialized or dangerous goods require earlier processing.
