Dangerous Goods In Air Transport

It is of great importance that the transports are carried out safely and in full compliance with the relevant legislation. One thing that is being transported is dangerous goods. When transporting these substances, maximum attention should be paid and complete compliance with the guidelines. Especially in air transport, dangerous substances can be affected by changes such as temperature, humidity, pressure, so precautions should be taken with these in mind.

In addition to negative effects, the risk of damage due to factors such as improper transport and vibration should also be taken into account. For this reason, it is important to know many features such as identification, packaging, Marking, Labeling and documentation of dangerous substances and to carry out transportation by experts. It is necessary to be careful at every stage related to the collection and storage of dangerous substances from the receipt.

Prohibited From Dangerous Substances In Air Transport

Air transport of dangerous goods in Turkey is carried out in accordance with the instructions for the transport of dangerous goods by air and published by the General Directorate of Civil Aviation of the Ministry of Transport.

The directive prohibits the transportation of all types of substances by air that threaten the safety of life and property of living beings, such as ammunition, weapons and all war materials, flammable destructors, explosives, toxic gas, corrosive substances, radioactive substances and nuclear fuel. In order to make an exception to this ban, general or special qualified permits of the Ministry of transport are required. Before this permission is granted, the opinions of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the General Staff are consulted.

Hazardous Materials And Considerations In Air Transport

In the case of dangerous goods transport, the instruction should be well read and the instructions should be created accordingly. If conduct contrary to the articles is detected, within the scope of the Turkish Civil Aviation Law, imprisonment between 4 months and 2 years and heavy fines ranging from thirty thousand pounds to three hundred thousand pounds are applied. For this reason, it is useful to be careful.

On the other hand, the instructions also include the conditions specified in how dangerous substances are classified, how they are packaged, how they are labeled and how they are marked in airline transport. Transactions must be made in accordance with these conditions. In addition, the scope of the responsibilities of the shipper and the carrier in the transport is also determined in the instructions. Transport must be carried out in the awareness of these responsibilities.
