Motorized Vehicles

WARNING to all customers shipping motorcycles:

no spare batteries or any dangerous goods are permitted in your saddle bag, or your bike WILL miss the flight!

How to prepare for your motorbike to be shipped as a dangerous good:

Motorcycles are classified as dangerous goods by the international air transport association. We will prepare and sign the Dangerous Goods Declaration paperwork for you and inform you on all the preparation procedures. Regardless of if you are departing from a major Canadian airport, or an International airport around the world, we will do the return log of your trip as well.
Motorcycles are considered dangerous goods in regards to transportation by aircrafts thus, certain preparations for the bike and documentation are required. No worries! That’s where we come in. Dangerous Goods Packing will guide you through all the preparation and procedures.
Air Canada Bike Program: In 2020 you would bring your bike to Air Canada the day before your flight with a quarter tank of gas or less (gas level is very important). Then you are required to disconnect the battery and tape up the leads and the battery posts with black electrical tape. Next, you must tie the leads so they are secured to the bike frame. This will prevent them from flopping around and causing a short circuit. We will prepare and sign a dangerous goods declaration form which you will be required to submit along with your waybill number assigned to you by Air Canada, to the Dangerous Goods Air Canada Cargo agents. You will go through the same procedure when you return. We will prepare documentation for both flights.

We will prepare and sign the Dangerous Goods Declaration paperwork for you and inform you on all the preparation procedures. Regardless of whichever major Canadian or  international airport you are departing from, we will do the return log of your trip too.

WestJet has great prices and is running its discount program for motorcycle shipping again.
Air Canada and WestJet have been running a promotion that allows riders to ship their motorcycles in the cargo holds of widebody jets. We’ve had several DGP readers who’ve used the service and while there has been some confusion over pricing in the past, most customers have been happy with the service.
Now Air Canada and WestJet are offering the program again for its usual season of April 1st to September 30th. But unlike past years which saw the airline offering flat rates through its promotional materials, customers must now call in to get the specifics of the pricing for each flight. We have been informed that the prices may be higher this year due to increases in the cost of jet fuel.
It is important to remember that Air Canada and WestJet only offer this service on flights to specific destinations. In the past, South America has been on and off the list due to government concerns with red tape. However, flights to Europe and inside Canada should be back on as usual. For more details on how to prep your bike, where you can fly to, and how much it will cost, you are best off contacting Air Canada.

Motorcycle Shipping via Air Freight

https://www.aircanada.com/cargo/en/shipping/shipping-solutions/ac-dgr/motorcycle.html

Besides ocean transport, our air freight division offers services for both importing and exporting motorcycles from the Canada.

When using either a container or roll on roll off service, most carriers make it optional to have your motorcycle crated.

However, when using any air freight service all bikes must be crated except with the Air Canada Cargo Special accross Canada using certified heat treated and stamped wood.

There are additional documents that are needed with the most important being the Dangerous goods form. Also, the cost of shipping motorcycles with air freight is based on cubic volume due to the demand for space and weight limits on most airliners.

If you need expedited transport for your Harley Davidson or ninja, air freight is an option and works well with short time frames but the tradeoff to this is a higher overall cost.
