Firearms and Ammunition

Hunting rifles and shotguns are accepted as checked baggage only, and must be unloaded. Before First Air accepts the firearm, you must complete and sign the Firearm Declaration, available at the check-in counter on the day of your travel. If your firearm is in excess of your baggage allowance, additional baggage charges will apply.

The firearm must be inhibited from being fired by using a secure, locking device mechanism or trigger lock on the weapon. The firearm must be packaged and locked in a specially designed, opaque case that cannot be easily broken into during transport.

Ammunition is only accepted in checked baggage and must be packaged separately from the firearm. Ammunition allowance is limited to 5 kg (11 LB) per passenger. Only shells or cartridges are acceptable types of ammunition. Gunpowder and gunpowder pellets are strictly prohibited. Ammunition must be packed securely in the manufacturer’s original container. To avoid shock movement, the carton must be placed inside a suitcase and cushioned with clothing.
