Airbill

/ˈɛərbɪl/ noun

Definition

A shipping document or receipt issued by an airline for cargo or freight being transported by air.

Etymology

From 'air' plus 'bill' (from Medieval Latin 'billa,' a written statement or account), combining to mean 'an airline's receipt for goods.'

Kelly Says

The airbill is basically a contract promise—when a company hands you one, they're legally guaranteeing your package will arrive as described, which is why airlines take them so seriously!
