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. 

Refusal Of Shipments

Cargo Agents Shall Refuse Any Consignment Based On The Following;

  • When customer refuses to fill out “cargo acceptance questionnaire”
  • If it is not properly packed and/so may cause damage to the aircraft
  • If it is not packed according to the applicable packaging requirements (e.g for dangerous articles, live animals, etc.)
  • If the shipment is damaged
  • Non payment

Handling Procedures

    • 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.
