Cargo Acceptance Questionnaire

It is the responsibility of cargo agent/shipping clerk to ensure a formal acceptance is followed and completed for all cargo shipments. Company trained employees must ask the customer(s) to fill out “cargo acceptance questionnaire” before accepting any cargo.

A cargo acceptance questionnaire is a safeguard set up by the company to ensure the safety of our passengers and our aircrafts. Shippers must complete the questionnaire correctly. The main function of our cargo staff/shipping clerk is to inspect the shipments and documentation to ensure everything is in order.

Cooler/Freezer - Fragile Articles

Fragile/perishables/frozen cargo shipments must be appropriately identified by the customer as fragile. (Perishables and frozen have a designated area – cooler for the perishables and frozen items are stored in the freezer) The customer must advise the cargo agent which items are marked frozen & perishable.

Cargo Agents Shall Refuse Any Consignment Based On The Following;

When customer refuses to fill out “cargo acceptance questionnaire”

Handling Procedures

Shipper or agent tenders shipment to the cargo office a minimum of one hour prior to flight departure, (two hours for dangerous goods).
Shipment weight is checked against the reservation. if shipment weight is in excess of the amount reserved, one of the following alternatives would be taken:

If space is still available on the requested flight, the whole shipment including excess would be confirmed.
If space is not available for the excess, then only the weight originally reserved would be moved on the flight requested. the remaining part would be documented onto a new air waybill and moved either as general or a freight seat (shipper’s choice) on the next available flight.
If the excess cannot be separated from the rest of the shipment, (e.g. a single piece shipment), then the whole shipment will not be accepted as a freight seat on the requested flight. however, it could be accepted as general cargo or confirmed as a freight seat on the next available flight.
If no advance reservations have been made, space would have to be confirmed before accepting the shipment.
The shipping document must be marked freight seat and the requested flight/date must be documented on the air waybill.
Pieces of the shipment are to carry a freight seat label marked with the flight and date reserved and cross references the reservation number.
If required, ramp connections will be provided and coordinated by the origin station.
Shipments are to be identified on baggage carts to facilitate loading on the ramp.
