Dead Body Transport by Air Cargo

Arrange air transportation from Delhi

Antim Swarg Yatra helps families coordinate transportation of mortal remains through Delhi's airport cargo facilities. The arrangement can involve local pickup, preparation, a suitable coffin, documentation and handover to the airline. Call 08750858484 with the departure location, destination and release status.

Domestic and international journeys have different requirements

For a destination within India, confirm the route and acceptance requirements with the operating airline. If the destination is abroad, use our international transportation page to discuss the destination country's requirements and receiving arrangements. A passenger ticket alone does not confirm a cargo booking.

Documents: check the operating airline's list

Requirements depend on the route and circumstances. Our document guide links to an airline's published checklist and explains how inbound international clearance differs. Confirm the required certificates, identity records and packing specifications before the coffin is prepared.

IndiGo's published human-remains policy is one airline-specific reference; it is not a universal checklist for every carrier. The airline and relevant authorities make the acceptance and clearance decisions.

What affects the cost?

• Local movement: collection from the home, hospital or mortuary and transfer to cargo.
• Preparation: any required embalming, certificates and coffin or packing.
• Air cargo: the route, carrier, chargeable weight and applicable handling charges.
• Destination: collection from cargo and any onward road journey.
• Coordination: which tasks and third-party charges are included in your quoted amount.

Booking and handover

1. Share the destination airport, family contact and documents currently available.
2. Check the airline's route, packing and document requirements before confirming the plan.
3. Agree the quote and responsibilities at departure and arrival.
4. Confirm cargo acceptance, flight details and the authorised receiving person's collection instructions.

Flight availability, document checks and cargo acceptance affect timing. Confirm arrangements before relatives book travel around an assumed departure. If there is a wait, ask about preservation support; if road transport is more suitable, see local and outstation vehicles.
