Transportation of musical instruments

Wasaya Airways will allow musical instruments to be carried onboard providing they meet the carry-on size and weight requirements. 

Instruments may also be accepted as checked baggage as long as they are properly packed in a hard sided case and meet the size requirements. Wasaya will accept instruments as checked baggage if they are not packaged properly (i.e. a soft sided case) provided the passenger agrees to sign a limited release tag that releases Wasaya for any liabilities. The instrument must meet the size requirement.

Should musical instruments be damaged or lost during travel, where the damage or loss is the result of mishandling by Wasaya Airways, passengers are entitled to compensation. In such instances the passenger must provide Wasaya with proof of original receipt or a professional appraisal. If the passenger declares the monetary value is greater than Wasaya’s maximum liability, the instrument is required to be shipped through Wasaya Cargo whereas a declared value can be established.
