Thread: ammunition on national flights

This is what it says on the Air NZ website https://www.airnewzealand.co.nz/dangerous-goods

"Airline safety requirements

Ammunition must be securely packed in division 1.4S (UN0012 or UN0014) and must not exceed 5kg gross weight."

No mention of original packaging.

I rang and had a long discussion with Air NZ at the time and the person agreed there was no requirement that it had to be in the original packaging, just secure. I was also able to tell them that when I booked and told them I was travelling with a firearm I was told the ammunition had to be separate, but no mention was made of it having to be in original packaging.

Cost them a few hundred dollars to get right.
