Key policies
Baggage allowance
As a dedicated freight carrier, standard passenger baggage allowances do not apply. All shipments are processed as cargo and are priced based on weight, dimensional volume, and specific handling requirements.
Change policy
Air waybill and cargo booking modifications are governed by Avianca Cargo's logistics terms. Standard freight changes require advance notice prior to terminal cut-off, while express shipments offer enhanced routing flexibility.
Check-in
Freight must be tendered at designated cargo facilities rather than passenger terminals. Cut-off times vary strictly by shipment category (e.g., general freight vs. perishables) and local airport security screening protocols.
