For Max Air cargo booking in Nigeria, obtain a current freight-specific response before sending goods to an airport. A passenger fare, published destination or charter enquiry option does not automatically confirm that an unaccompanied shipment can travel.
Max Air’s official website provides passenger bookings, destination information, a charter option and contact access. Use the official channel to ask which cargo team or appointed handling agent can assess your shipment. Confirm both current service availability and the goods’ acceptance; historical operating information is not a booking confirmation.
Start with the route and shipment
Give the actual origin and destination, readiness date and delivery deadline. Ask whether a scheduled cargo arrangement is available or whether the enquiry requires a dedicated charter. These options have different capacity, pricing and handling implications.
For bulky equipment, a full aircraft charter still needs a loading assessment. Door access, floor limits, restraint arrangements and weight distribution can matter more than total aircraft size. Do not infer that a passenger aircraft can take a pallet simply because it has a large cabin.
Prepare a complete shipment brief
- Origin and destination, shipping date and delivery deadline.
- Contents, package count, gross weights and dimensions.
- Any batteries, liquids, chemicals, perishables or fragile items.
- Sender, receiver and destination collection contacts.
- Required airport handling, customs assistance or road delivery.
If you are sending an urgent spare part, specify whether the load can be split or repacked and whether airport alternatives are acceptable. For fragile or temperature-sensitive goods, request confirmation of the handling arrangements rather than relying on a promise of a quick flight.
Max Air air freight rates
Request a quotation based on the accepted goods and proposed route. Ask how chargeable weight is calculated, whether a minimum fee applies and which airport costs are included. A passenger excess-baggage rate is not an unaccompanied cargo rate.
For charter, check positioning, airport handling, permits and waiting charges. For all shipment types, establish the cost of screening, storage, customs assistance where relevant and final delivery. Confirm the quotation currency, expiry, payment channel and cancellation conditions.
Confirm handover and collection
Do not dispatch until you have written acceptance and the exact receiving location. Ask for the cargo cutoff and documentation, then label and pack the goods according to the accepted instructions. Keep the reference and receipt for the full consignment.
Send the receiver the release location, required identification or authorisation and the contact for availability updates. Aircraft arrival does not guarantee immediate cargo release, and an airport-to-airport offer requires a separate plan for transport to the final address.
If the proposed service cannot meet your deadline, ask a freight forwarder to compare another airline or cargo charter. Use the complete shipment details so the alternative quote covers the same requirements.
Max Air cargo questions
Is freight booked through the passenger website?
Ask the official team for the current cargo booking procedure.
Are all scheduled destinations available for cargo?
Confirm the shipment, aircraft and station arrangements for the intended date.
Can a charter enquiry guarantee cargo acceptance?
No. Capacity and loading suitability must be approved before the flight is booked.
Turn your enquiry into a workable shipping plan
For a company shipping equipment, send the actual load details before asking for a charter or a per-kilogram rate. First establish whether unaccompanied freight is available for your route and date, and who provides acceptance. A charter option in a passenger booking menu does not determine cargo suitability. If you are directed to an agent, confirm their authority and the receiving arrangements with the airline. Keep an alternative freight or road plan ready if the requested movement cannot be confirmed within your deadline.
Compare the complete quotation
Ask for the total payable for the same shipment and delivery endpoint. A lower flight charge can leave screening, storage, handling and road transport to be paid separately. Check the quotation’s expiry date, payment currency and what happens if the flight changes. Identify who will notify the receiver when the cargo is ready and who pays for a delay in collection. Keep written acceptance with the booking reference before releasing the goods.

How Travo can assist
For shipments moving within Nigeria, Travo offers local same-day delivery in supported cities and business delivery services for repeat orders. Ask about collection before airport handover and delivery after release. Businesses receiving stock can also use warehouse storage and fulfilment for inventory, picking, packing and distribution. Timing and coverage should be agreed for the actual addresses.
Request a shipment plan from Travo with your collection and delivery addresses, goods description, dimensions, weight and deadline. Ask which services are included, which need separate approval and what the delivery estimate depends on. This lets you coordinate the ground journey with the airline’s confirmed acceptance.
