If a bill of lading is a document of title and therefore goods cannot be released until payment has been made, then how does Air freight get delivered if an Air Way bill is not a document of title. How does the Importing forwarder know the goods have been paid for?

@Paul Richard G,
How the goods have been paid for is usually handled between the buyer and the seller.
An air waybill is simply a shipping document. It has nothing to do with the actual title to any goods.
