How Cancellation Fees Impact Your Earnings on AirJIT

Understanding the financial implications of cancellations for travelers

Overview of Cancellation Fee Impacts​

Cancellation fees can significantly impact your earnings as a traveler on AirJIT. These fees are designed to offset the inconvenience and potential loss caused by cancellations. Knowing how these fees affect your earnings helps you plan better and make informed decisions.

Detailed Examples of Cancellation Fee Calculations​

  1. Cancellation Before Collection (Less Than 24 Hours):

    • Scenario: You booked a shipment with potential earnings of $100 but cancel it 12 hours before departure
    • Fee: Half of the potential earnings
    • Calculation: $100 (potential earnings) x 0.5 = $50 (cancellation fee)
    • Net Earnings: $0 (earnings) - $50 (fee) = -$50 (loss)

  2. Cancellation After Collection (No Valid Reason):

    • Scenario: You collect a parcel with potential earnings of $150 but decide to cancel without a valid reason
    • Fee: Full potential earnings
    • Calculation: $150 (potential earnings) = $150 (cancellation fee)
    • Net Earnings: $0 (earnings) - $150 (fee) = -$150 (loss)

  3. Shipper Cancellation Less Than 24 Hours Before Departure:

    • Scenario: The shipper cancels a shipment with potential earnings of $80, 6 hours before departure
    • Compensation: Half of the potential earnings
    • Calculation: $80 (potential earnings) x 0.5 = $40 (compensation)
    • Net Earnings: $40 (compensation)

  4. Shipper Cancellation After Collection:

    • Scenario: The shipper cancels a shipment with potential earnings of $120 after you have collected it
    • Compensation: Full potential earnings
    • Calculation: $120 (potential earnings) = $120 (compensation)
    • Net Earnings: $120 (compensation)
