What Is an Air Tray for a Casket?

An Air Tray is a protective shipping container used around a casket during air cargo transport. Its base and enclosure help provide structure, handling support and an additional protective layer while the casket moves through the transportation process.

Funeral homes and professional transport providers select an Air Tray based on the casket dimensions, destination, construction requirements and whether a standard Air Tray or a Combination Unit is more appropriate. Air-Flite’s standard models, including Model CB, are produced in fixed standard sizes. Air-Flite also offers custom sizing, including oversized configurations.
