Dangerous Goods

This term is referred to the items that may endanger the safety of an aircraft or passengers on board the aircraft. These items are also known as restricted articles, hazardous materials and dangerous cargo. Many household items may come under the ambit of dangerous goods for the purpose of air travel. The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) or the local Civil Aviation Authority Regulations govern their carriage onboard aircraft.
