The booking

When making a booking, always let our local customer service agent know if you will be using an approved active tracking device. The IATA Special Handling Code EMD must be used when making the booking. This includes e-bookings, such as CPS bookings.

IATA Special Handling Code

The IATA Special Handling code EMD (Electronic Monitoring Device) is applicable and must be used when making bookings (Including E-bookings in CPS).

The following restrictions apply: 

• Exclusion of countries Cuba & Sudan. Active tracking devices can be subject to United States export controls and can be categorised as dual-use.

Only AF-KL-MP-DL aircrafts can accept 057 & 074 bookings with active tracking devices. 057 & 074 Bookings with active tracking devices in our network on other carrier´s aircrafts are not allowed (Kenya Airways, MRN Airlines, Air Calin & China Southern).
