Air Shipment

Air Shipment is a transaction that represents the execution of air freight. It is the job document that tracks the actual cargo movement from origin to destination, linked to one or more Air Bookings.

An Air Shipment records flight details, ULD assignments, routing legs, packages, charges, documents, and milestones. It flows from Air Booking and supports consolidation, customs integration, and billing.
