Definition and Responsibilities
A. Definition of Interline Transfer of Cargo:
This is when a shipment is brought by one airline to another. The air waybill provided by the transferring airline is the document used to facilitate continued movement of the shipment. Interline transfers of cargo will only take place if:
Both airlines are IATA (International Air Transport Association) members. OR
The airlines (yours and another) have a Cargo Interline Agreement between them.
At the place of transfer, a Transfer Manifest is provided by the transferring airline to the receiving airline.
B. Responsibility of the Transferring Airline:
Complete a transfer manifest.
Ensure the AWB Number, pieces, and labeled destination match.
It’s mandatory to indicate for shipments from non-secure bases that the “Shipment has been searched.”
It’s essential that the Transfer Manifest is signed by a representative of the receiving airline.
One (1) copy of the Transfer Manifest is sent to Finance. Another copy is kept in the Base Interline transfer file. The receiving carrier is given one (1) copy of the transfer manifest.
C. Responsibility of the Receiving Airline:
Note any damages or shortages on the Transfer Manifest - If this is not done, 100% liability goes to the receiving airline should any claims need to be paid out.
- Send one (1) copy of the Transfer Manifest to Finance - Attach a copy of the original air waybill and a copy of the ameliaCARGO air waybill. Retain another copy in the Base Interline transfer file, with a copy of the original AWB attached. Attach another copy of the original AWB to the Base copy created in ameliaCARGO.
