How to send your luggage in Cargo from Maldives in Air India

July 6, 2008

If you are moving back home from Maldives to India, then you will be having lots of luggage and its not advisable to carry along with you. The best way is to send through Cargo. The procedure is very simple and the cost is very less.

First get your things packed well in boxes and count the number of boxes

Then go to Cyprea Travels in Male’ who are the authorized agents for Air India Cargo and tell them the number of boxes and the destination details. They will give you labels for the number of boxes you have.

Next you need to take all your goods to the Male’ International Airport cargo and get it weighed and get clearance from Customs and NSS. Then again from the Island aviation office you need to fill up a form and then come back again to Cyprea and make the payment according the weight. Then again you need to go back to the Cargo and hand over the Airway bills. You will get a copy of the airway bill. Usually the next day, the goods to be sent to the destination.

Hope this may be helpful for you
