Document background
The Air Bill of Lading (Air Waybill) is a fundamental document in air freight transportation, essential for both domestic Danish shipments and international cargo operations. It is governed by Danish law while incorporating requirements from the Montreal Convention 1999 and relevant EU regulations. This document is required whenever goods are transported by air, serving multiple purposes: it acts as a contract of carriage between the shipper and carrier, provides a receipt for the goods, and includes essential shipping instructions. The document contains critical information such as shipper and consignee details, cargo description, routing information, and applicable terms and conditions. It's particularly important for establishing liability limits, documenting cargo condition, and ensuring compliance with international air transport regulations.
