„Bank Delivery Order to an Airline“

What does Bank Delivery Order to an Airline stand for?

A letter addressed to an air carrier from a bank who is shown as consignee on an airwaybill instructing the carrier to release a shipment. Often airlines will accept as a delivery order a bank’s endorsement on the airwaybill, although an airwaybill is a non-negotiable document.
