Description

Description

A focused, hands-on day to master how Incoterms interact with air freight realities: AWB/e-AWB, chargeable weight, ULDs, actors in the chain, security, and the documents that make or break a shipment. Built from real air-cargo practice to help you choose the right rule and avoid classic pitfalls.


Objectives

After the training the participant shall be able to:

  • Know the air-cargo actors, core documents and flows

  • Understand how Incoterms allocate costs, risks and tasks in air shipments

  • Recognize which Incoterms apply to air (and which are maritime-only)

  • Set the right rule for a particular air-freight contract (EXW/FCA/CPT/CIP/DAT/DAP/DDP)

  • Use and apply the Air Waybill (HAWB/MAWB) and shipper instructions correctly

  • Calculate chargeable weight / Pivot Weightand read tariff grids and add-ons

  • Identify dangerous-goods documentation and security requirements

  • Air Waybill essentials (MAWB/HAWB) & e-AWB: roles, who issues/signs, legal effect (Montréal), electronic transition and booking/e-freight

  • Incoterms for air: what the rules do (risk/cost split, delivery point), what they do not do (ownership/payment law); seven rules applicable to air; maritime-only terms to avoid in air

  • Tariffs & chargeable weight: general cargo pricing, taxable/volume weight (1 m³ = 166.667 kg), rounding rules, typical surcharges and who pays what on the AWB

  • ULDs, pallets & handling: ULD identifiers (AKE, PAG…), dimensions, why hubs love ULDs; implications for packing/handling
