Transportation of Non-Radioactive
Dangerous Goods by Air
Both Domestic & International shipments of Dangerous Goods by Air must comply with the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Technical Instructions and the national regulations of the countries the shipment will originate, transit through & be delivered. Any restrictions over and above the applicable air regulations have been filed as “variations” by both governments and airlines, which must also be adhered to.
Many freight forwarders and carriers are members of the International Air Transport Association (IATA) & require customers to comply with those Dangerous Goods Regulations to tender shipments for air transport.
Our Air courses are conducted on-site at your location to take advantage of your products, documents, and hazardous items on hand for focused examples during the training. This allows the students to apply the course material in real time to what they will be trained to do upon completion of the course.
