Air waybill

In short

The transport document for air freight, evidencing the contract of carriage and the receipt of goods.

Updated 16 August 2026

Unlike a bill of lading, an air waybill is not a document of title. It names the consignee directly, which is why the consignee details must exactly match the importing entity.

This is general information, not advice for a specific shipment. Rules change; check the official source or ask us about your consignment.
