"PREVENTION TO LOAD OF NON-DECLARED DANGEROUS GOODS"

In April, J.C.A.B. ( Japanese Civil Aviation Bureau ) was officially reported by a foreign country for the improper handling of dangerous goods.*(found 2,000pcs. of Gas Lighters with remained fuels from mixed loading shipment at destination which were declared as "No Fuel Contained upon acceptance at departure station.") J.C.A.B. issued an official warning to all Japanese airlines and air cargo forwarders in order to reaffirm the importance of "to declare proper information of dangerous goods to airlines"

Though it is needless to say that enforcement of proper and correct handling and declaring of dangerous goods is one of the basic and most important obligations for airlines and air cargo forwarders, we remind you once again to observe the basic points when handle dangerous goods.
