Flygfraktbrev

Flygfraktbrev, also known as air waybill, is a document used in the international air freight industry to facilitate the transportation of goods. It serves as a contract between the shipper, the carrier, and the consignee, outlining the terms and conditions of the shipment. The flygfraktbrev is a standardized document issued by the International Air Transport Association (IATA), which is widely accepted and used globally.

The flygfraktbrev contains essential information about the shipment, including the nature and quantity of goods, the shipper's and consignee's details, the routing information, and the terms of carriage. It also includes a unique identifier known as the Air Waybill Number (AWB Number), which is used to track the shipment throughout its journey.

The flygfraktbrev is typically issued by the carrier upon receipt of the goods from the shipper. It can be issued in paper form or electronically, depending on the carrier's preference and the shipper's requirements. The electronic flygfraktbrev, known as e-AWB, is becoming increasingly popular due to its convenience and efficiency.

The flygfraktbrev plays a crucial role in the air freight industry by providing a standardized and universally accepted document for the transportation of goods. It ensures transparency, accountability, and efficiency in the shipping process, making it an indispensable tool for shippers, carriers, and consignees alike.
