  • TRANSIT SHIPMENT HANDLING
    Transit Shipment to Chiang Mai

    Thai Airways is the only carrier offering cargo service to/from BKK from/to CNX. To achieve the fastest transit time, we recommend using TG service already from the origin station with booking to CNX. In case that not possible, trying to book with an airline handled by TG in Bangkok to avoid delays due to the necessary transfer from different ground service handling agent.

    Transit Shipment to other Countries/Destinations.
    Try to use airlines handled by the same handling agent to avoid delays in transfer.
