Air cargo product handling is becoming increasingly complex, driven by specialized cargo requirements, strict regulatory frameworks, and growing demands for safety, compliance, and operational precision. This course offers a comprehensive and practice-oriented understanding of handling different air cargo product categories, focusing on accurate execution, regulatory compliance, and operational control across the entire handling process.

Participants receive in-depth insights into the specific requirements of various cargo products, including dangerous goods, perishables, pharmaceuticals, live animals, valuables, and other sensitive shipments. The course connects product-specific requirements with real operational processes, ensuring that handling decisions are aligned with safety, quality, and performance standards. A strong focus is placed on industry standards and certifications, including IATA regulations, CEIV frameworks, GDP requirements, and Cargo iQ performance standards. Participants learn how these frameworks influence daily operations and how to translate them into practical handling procedures. Moreover, the program integrates the use of Special Handling Codes (SHC) within the Air Waybill (AWB), ensuring clear communication, correct classification, and consistent execution across the supply chain. Through real-world scenarios and applied problem-solving, participants learn to manage complexity, reduce handling errors, ensure compliance, and improve operational reliability.

This course is delivered as Track 3 within the Air Cargo Operations Leadership Program, establishing the operational foundation and leadership capabilities required to manage complex air cargo environments.
