Which code does this activity belong in?
Code 481212 covers nonscheduled air freight operations where cargo is the primary cargo transported without passengers. The critical distinction from 481211 is that 481212 establishments do not transport passengers; they focus exclusively on freight delivery with no scheduled routes. If an operation carries passengers alongside cargo, or if passengers are transported as the primary service, that establishment belongs in Nonscheduled Chartered Passenger Air Transportation instead.
