Most things that move by air fall into this category, and that’s exactly why we’ve built our entire operation around handling it well. General cargo is the backbone of air freight. Commercial goods, manufactured products, industrial equipment, retail merchandise, spare parts, printed materials, consumer electronics, if it doesn’t require special temperature control or hazardous goods certification, it’s general cargo, and we handle it every single day out of Entebbe International Airport.
But just because something is called “general” doesn’t mean it gets treated casually. Every consignment that comes through our facility goes through the same rigorous acceptance process, documentation checks, weight and dimension verification, aviation security screening, and proper ULD assignment before it gets anywhere near a Lufthansa Cargo aircraft.
What most shippers don’t realise is that how your cargo is built up into a Unit Load Device makes a real difference to whether it arrives intact. Poorly packed ULDs shift in transit. Badly documented shipments get held at customs. We’ve seen what happens when these basics are skipped, and we’ve spent years making sure we never skip them.
When you hand your general cargo to Satya Agencies, here’s what happens. We receive and weigh your consignment. We check your commercial invoice, packing list, and airway bill. We screen everything to aviation security standards. We assign the right ULD for the aircraft type and load it correctly. We hand it over to Lufthansa Cargo with complete documentation. And we follow up to make sure it gets where it’s going.
Daily departures from Entebbe connect your cargo to our transit hubs in Brussels and Frankfurt, and from there to the USA, Canada, and destinations across Europe and beyond. Whether you’re shipping one box or a full pallet, the process is the same and the standard doesn’t change.
If you’re not sure whether your shipment qualifies as general cargo or needs specialist handling, just call us. We’d rather you ask upfront than discover a problem at acceptance.
