CARRIAGE OF GOODS BY AIR

Learning Objectives
LO1: Introduction
LO2: Airfreight Facilities
LO3: Freight in air transportation

LO6: Int’l air transportation organizations

LO 1
Introduction
 Gaining in importance : global trade and

development dimension
 Weight: only around 2%  Value: from 33% to 40%
 High-value and high-tech manufactured goods,
perishables and other time-critical cargo
 Annual growth rates for 2004-2023 of around 6%
globally  improving living standards  developing
and landlocked country

Characteristics
 Rapidness  fastest mode of transport

 20 to 30 times faster than the sea-going
 5 to 10 times faster than the train,
 7 to 15 times faster than the car.
 Mobility  No Physical Barriers  shortest route
 Safety  about 10,000 m height
 International transparency and easy accessibility of
laws and regulation

Advantages vs Disadvantages
 Speed  Cost
 Safety  low  Greater risk
premium  Limitations on size of
 Arrival and departure cargo
times are consistent
 Less reliance on
storage facilities
 Standard procedures

LO 2
Airfreight Facilities
• Air freight market

• Aircraft
• Unit Loading Device (ULD)
• Ground handling Facilities

The air freight market
• Passenger airlines (e.g., United Airlines)  the freight

capacity in the belly hold of their all-passenger-aircraft fleet.
• Combination airlines (e.g., Korean Air)  fleets with both
freighters and passenger aircraft
• Dedicated cargo operators (e.g., Cargolux)  a fleet of
cargo-only aircraft and offer regularly scheduled service
• Air freight integrators (e.g., FedEx Express) operate air and
ground freight services
• Specialized operators (e.g., Volga-Dnepr Airlines) fulfilling
niche services that cater to specific cargo requirements (e.g.,
heavy loads)
Aircraft
Narrow or Wide-body aircraft can be further divided into:
• All cargo or freighter aircraft
• Passenger aircraft
• Mixed/Combi aircraft

Narrow-body aircraft or conventional
aircraft 5.1 AIRCRAFT
• Fuselage width of about 3m (10ft) with a single aisle between

passenger seats.
• Cargo hold in the lower deck mostly carry loose (bulk) cargo

Chargeable Weight (CW)
The basis of charging freight is:

• High density cargo > 1kg per
6000cm3 (366 cu.in.) or 1 lb
per 166 cu.in  CW=GW
• Low density cargo < 1kg per
6000cm3 (366 cu.in.) or 1 lb
per 166 cu.in  CW=VW
 CW = GW or VW  higher

Chargeable weight (C.W)
Step 1: Calculate the actual gross weight (GW) and the
volume (VW) of the air freight shipment
Step 2: Finalize the volumetric weight (ratio 1:6)
Step 3: Compare the gross weight with the volumetric weight
Chargeable weight is the greater value

Step 1-Gross Weight (GW)
Always round up
•0.001 kg to 0.5 kg → 0.5 kg (round up to the next half kg)
•0.501 kg to 1.0 kg → 1.0 kg (round up to the next full kg)

Rates and Charges
• RATE: The amount charged by the carrier for the

carriage of a unit of weight

transportation of a consignment or for incidental
service(s) in connection with such transportation

General Cargo Rate (GCR)
• General cargo rates apply to the carriage of commodities that

have not been allocated a specific commodity rate or
commodity classification rate. General cargo rates consist of
minimum rate (M), normal rate (N), and lower charge in higher
weight (Q).

Precedence of rates and charges:

Specific Commodity Rate (SCR)
• Specific commodity rates are usually lower than general

cargo rates and are published for particular
commodities from a specified point of origin to a
specified destination point.
They are subject to a minimum weight restriction.
• When the class rate or the general cargo rate applicable
to the consignment is lower than the Specific
Commodity Rate, this lower rate can be applied.

Commodity Classification Rate (CCR or Class Rate)
• Commodity classification rates, also known as class

rates, are published for particular commodities from a
specified point of origin to a specified destination point
and are usually shown in Surcharged (S) or Reduced
(R). Class Rates take precedence over General Cargo
Rates regardless of comparisons.

Published materials (R)
• Newspapers, Magazines, Periodicals, Books, Catalogues,

Braille-Type Equipment and Talking Books for the
Blind, 50% of normal GCR shall apply to the above
commodities and the minimum charge will be either the
minimum charge for the specified sector or the amount
you get by multiplying such discounted rate per kg by
the minimum chargeable weight, whichever is higher.
Class rates are not applicable to the carriage of calendars,

price tags and posters.

Baggage Shipped as Cargo (R)
• For carriage of baggage shipped as cargo (excluding

machinery, jewelry, cameras, merchandise and
salesman samples), 50% of normal GCR will apply,
and such baggage is subject to a minimum charge for
10 kg.
• The baggage must be delivered to the carrier no later
than the passenger's departure date, and the passenger
or his agent is responsible for customs clearance.
• Airport of destination, must be as shown in passenger’s
ticket.

• Routing: PAR to LOS (Lagos, Nigeria) by AF

Example 13
The CCR for carriage between IATA

area 2 and 3 is 50% of the GCR N

Example 14
SCR 7104

Weight break point/ Break even weight
The weight at which the lower rate at a higher

minimum weight result in a lower weight charge is
call the Weight breakpoint (or weight break/ break
even weight/ break even point)
Rate of higher weight
Break even point = Higher weight x
Rate of lower weight
Example: if chargeable weight is 420 kgs
and + 300 = SGD 6
5
+ 500 = SGD 5
Then break even point = 500 x
= 416 KGs
6
As 420 > 416 upgrade the chargeable weight to be 500 kgs and apply
rate of + 500
Example 15

Valuation charge
• A charge for carriage of goods, based on the value

declared for the carriage of such goods  no liability
limitation
• In general, when the value of the shipment is in excess
of SDR17/K (Warsaw) or SDR22/K (MC99)  0.75%
must be assessed on the amount of excess of the carrier’s
liability limitation (Note: carrier may have their own
specific regulation)
• The shipper must declare a value for carriage on the
AWB
• Based on actual GW, not VW/ CW
When the shipper's "declared value for carriage" on the
Air Waybill is more than USD 20.00 (or its equivalent)
per kilogram , a valuation charge of 0.5% of the
shipper's declared value for carriage EXCEEDING
USD 20.00 per kilogram (Gross Weight) will be
charged.

Valuation charge
Valuation charge = (Declared value – Carrier’s liability x GW) x 0.75%

Air waybill (AWB)
• AWB becomes a valid contract only after it has been

signed by both the shipper or a cargo agent on his
behalf and by the carrier
• AWB should be issued immediately upon receipt of
the goods and the letter of instructions from the
shipper.
• The shipper prepares the AWB  responsible for
the accuracy and sufficiency of the details related to
the goods listed.
• AWB  non-negotiable
• AWB  3 orginals + 9-12 copy

AWB Contents

AWB Contents
Under the Warsaw Convention 1929 the air waybill must

contain the following list of seventeen particulars
The Montreal Convention 1999 the air waybill or cargo
receipt must contain namely:
(a) "an indication of the places of departure and destination;
(b) if the places of departure and destination are within the
territory of a single [Contracting State], one or more agreed
stopping places being within the territory of another State, an
indication of at least one such stopping place; and
(c) an indication of the weight of the consignment."

The International Legal Framework

Consignor's right of disposal
A right of disposal of the goods:

+during the carriage by air and
+before the goods are delivered to the consignee
The consignor may:
+withdraw the goods at the airport of departure
or destination
+stop the goods in the course of carriage at any
landing
+ name a person other than the consignee named
in the air waybill

Air carrier's liability for loss, damage
or delay
During the time the cargo is in the charge of the
carrier
The carrier is entitled to rely on specified defences,
which he needs to prove to exonerate himself,
wholly or partly, from liability
The liability is limited to a maximum amount per
kilogram, (also called monetary cap)

Monetary cap
Warsaw 1929: 250 Fr/kg (1Fr Pháp#65.5mg Vàng

90%)
Montreal Protocol 1975: 17 SDR/kg
 The Montreal Convention 1999 (MC99) In 2009
this was increased to 19 SDRs, where it has
remained for the last decade. In November 2019,
ICAO announced the limitation on cargo damage
liability would increase to 22 SDRs/kg effective 28
December 2019.
