Japanese to English translations [PRO]
Tech/Engineering - Transport / Transportation / Shipping / cargo | | Japanese term or phrase: 塔降載 | | The context is the handling of cargo in an airport. I can't find this word in any dictionaries. My best guess is "loading and unloading"; can anyone confirm that or tell me what this is? Thanks in advance......... |

| | loading and unloading ---> 搭降載 | Explanation:
the word 塔 should be 搭, though I can find some 塔降載 too. But the word 搭降 means boarding. 塔降 is a wrong letter. |

| Grading comment Thanks to all for confirming my guess. I'll give the points to SenQ for pointing out the wrong letter. I hadn't noticed it! I, too, found several hits for 塔降載, though, including a JAL site. I guess it's a common error.

2 hrs confidence: | 塔降載 loading and unloading
Explanation:
For cargo, that is. For passengers, it's 搭乗 as in 搭乗券 (boarding pass) and 搭乗手続き (boarding procedures).
A similar compound is 送受信 (from 送信・受信) for data transfers.

Oops! Just as we don¥'t say ¥"transmitting and receiving¥" all that often in English, in some CONTEXTS, you might wish to use ¥"cargo handling¥" instead.
