War Clauses (Air Cargo ) (Excluding Sending by Post) 2009

The cover provided by the Air Cargo War Clauses is almost identical to the cover in Marine Cargo War clauses, although the format is slightly different and the equivalent to the waterborne clause relates to circumstances of air transit as opposed to carriage by water. Exclusions too are similar to Institute Cargo Clauses (Air) with an additional exclusion reading “In no case shall this insurance cover any claim based upon loss of or frustration of the transit or adventure.” General average and salvage charges are omitted, as they will not apply to air transit. The duration (Transit) Clause provides that the insurance attracts only as the subject matter insured is loaded on the aircraft, till discharged from aircraft at the final place of discharge or on expiry of 15 days counting from midnight of the day of arrival of the aircraft at the final place of discharge whichever shall first occur.
