Alaska Air Cargo Adds Security Surcharge

2/8/2010 10:13:36 AM

Alaska Air Cargo says to meet US Transportation Security Administration (TSA) requirements, it is increasing the cutoff time for seafood shipments on passenger aircraft.

 

From Feb. 15, 2010, freight that is not pre-screened by shippers under the TSA’s Certified Cargo Screening Program (CCSP) will have to be delivered to the airline four hours prior to flight departure.

 

Alaska Cargo is increasing its security screening surcharge to four cents a pound with a $2 minimum charge per shipment and seafood boxes must be dry to ensure accurate testing. The airline says wet boxes and containers that have not been pre-screened may be rejected for shipment.

 

Seafood shippers already certified under the CCSP will not be charged by the airline for pre-screened shipments, and the cut-off time will remain two hours.
