Key policies

Baggage allowance

As an all-cargo carrier, passenger baggage policies do not apply. Freight dimensions and weight restrictions are determined by aircraft type, ULD (Unit Load Device) specifications, and specific commercial service contracts.

Change policy

Modifications to cargo waybills, including routing adjustments or scheduling changes, are subject to the specific freight contract, service level selected, and operational availability.

Check-in

Freight acceptance and drop-off cut-off times vary strictly by origin terminal, shipment type, and security requirements. Shippers must coordinate directly with local cargo handling facilities.
