It’s important to know what a dangerous good is before you ship. IATA helps identify the risks and works with ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization) to amend the regulations providing stakeholders with the most current guidelines on how to handle and ship dangerous goods safely. With so many dangerous goods being shipped by air, safety regulations must be followed precisely. With air cargo growth predicted at 4.9% every year over the next 5 years the number of dangerous goods shipments will rise significantly. Every year more than 1.25 million dangerous goods shipments are transported by air. ![]()
