Air Waybill (AWB)

It is a non-negotiable document issued by an airline to confirm receipt of goods for air transport. It details the terms and conditions of carriage.

The AWB includes information such as the shipper’s and consignee’s names, flight details, and a description of the goods. It serves as a contract of carriage, a receipt of goods, and a freight bill.

Examples of significant instances include:

• Shipper’s name and address
• Consignee’s name and address
• Flight number and date
• Description of goods
• Weight and dimensions
• Charges and fees

The AWB is essential for international air cargo, ensuring legal and logistical compliance.
