Container Rules

For customers with an established Hawaiian Air Cargo account, Hawaiian Airlines will furnish - free of charge -LD2 / LD8 containers and LD7 pallets. This offer requires advance booking and is subject to availability at the time of request.

Credit account customers who use Hawaiian Airlines containers must abide by the following rules:
  • An empty container delivered to the shipper for loading must be returned to Hawaiian Airlines at the same airport within 48 hours.
  • A loaded container delivered to a consignee for unloading must be returned to Hawaiian Airlines at the same airport within 48 hours.
Important Notes:
  • If a container is not returned to Hawaiian Air Cargo within these time limits, a demurrage charge of $25 per container will be assessed for each 24-hour period (or fraction) that exceeds the initial 48-hour grace period.
  • If the container is not returned to Hawaiian Airlines at the same airport, a service charge of $200 will be assessed for each container in addition to all other applicable charges.
  • The shipper or consignee is liable for any loss, damage, repair or replacement costs of any container, structural parts, pallet supporter or straps that have been furnished by Hawaiian Airlines.
  • For any container not returned to Hawaiian Airlines within 30 days from the time of delivery, the shipper or consignee will be liable for the loss of the container. When charges for the loss of a container are assessed, rental charges do not apply. However, if a container reported lost is later returned to Hawaiian Airlines, rental charges will be assessed. This 30-day period will be counted from the first calendar day following delivery of the container.
