Parcel shipment procedure
-
An AWB (Air Way Bill) is drafted. It serves as transportation contract
and receipt. It can hold for one or more parcels if they are dropped
off at the same time and for the same recipient. Payment can be made
with cash or local bank check.
-
Your parcel will be loaded on the first possible flight according to
weight and volume availability. You can request that your parcel leaves
on a specific flight and our services will do their best to accommodate
you.
-
While waiting to depart, your parcels will be stored in a private
holding zone accessible only to Air Tahiti staff.
Parcel collection
Please go to AIR TAHITI FREIGHT SERVICES or to the airport desk of the
island with valid I.D.
We ask you to
please check the condition of your shipment before collecting it. In
case of damage, the report must be filed at the time of collection.
Adressing
The sender must write very legibly on the shipment his own address and
number(s), those of the receiving party and the shipment’s final
destination.
The sender will notify the receiving party of the shipment in order to
avoid storage fees.
Liability
Operational or commercial constraints can make shipment on the planned
flight impossible. In that case, the liability regime provided for by
the regulations on cargo freight is applicable: in case of delay, loss
or damage, the compensation paid by the airline cannot exceed 1800
XPF/kilo. In cases where a special valuation certificate has been
provided, if it is accepted by Air Tahiti, the amount of compensation
may reach 100% of the declared value.
