Nearly every airline has something on their website regarding DG transport. This is a small selection
of what is available with a cursory internet search. Please note this list is not exhaustive by any means
and is only intended to present a few international examples:

IATA lithium battery guidance documents for cargo and passenger baggage:

FedEx (cargo)

Lufthansa (passenger restrictions)

Cathay Cargo (good because they specifically talk about operator variations, which is how their rules
are more restrictive than the regulations)

Captain Scott Schwartz flies MD-11s for FedEx where he
has worked for the past three decades, also flying the
727 and DC10.

Because of his impressive background in Chemical
Engineering, (Cpt. Schwartz holds a Bachelor of Chemical
Engineering degree from MIT and a PhD in Chemical
Engineering from the University of Minnesota), he was
encouraged to get involved in Dangerous Goods work
as a pilot representative and Subject Matter Expert.

Chair of IFALPA’s Dangerous Goods Committee, and an
ALPA Accredited Accident Investigator, he has served on
the FedEx Pilot Union’s governing Board and represents
the Federation in several international DG groups. He
is also ALPA’s Dangerous Goods program director,
and IFALPA’s representative to ICAO’s Dangerous
Goods Panel. In December 2019, he was appointed to
the US DOT’s newly formed Lithium Battery Advisory
Committee.
