Key policies
Baggage allowance
As a primary cargo and charter operator, baggage and freight allowances were highly customized based on the aircraft chartered and specific payload contract requirements.
Change policy
Charter and freight contracts featured strict modification policies, typically requiring advanced notice for payload or routing adjustments subject to operational fees.
Check-in
Check-in and loading protocols were coordinated directly with logistics handlers, ground crews, and charter managers rather than traditional commercial passenger check-in desks.
