What is an Airway Bill?
Direct Answer
An Airway Bill is a shipment document used for international air cargo transportation.
Detailed Explanation
The Airway Bill acts as proof of cargo acceptance by the airline and contains shipment details, destination, cargo weight, consignee information, and routing instructions. Unlike a Bill of Lading, the Airway Bill is non-negotiable and cannot transfer cargo ownership.
