Collapsible freight container for air transport, having on a base element (8) a frame-type structure containing a) a front frame (2) featuring an opening (22) for loading, b) a rear frame (3) which lies opposite and parallel to the front frame (2), c) an inner side frame (4) and at least one outer side frame, d) and a roof frame (7) which lies opposite and parallel to the base element (8). In the unfolded, operational state the freight container (1a) has a stable shape and is self-supporting. The rear and front frames (3, 2) are joined, via hinge-type connections (12) with horizontal axes of rotation, at the lower longitudinal sides to the abutting longitudinal sides of the base element (8) in a manner that allows them to be rotated and, are joined via hinge-type connections (11) with horizontal axes of rotation, at the upper longitudinal sides to the abutting longitudinal sides of the roof frame (7) in a manner that allows them to be rotated and, the side frames (4, 5, 6) are joined, via hinge-type connections (11) in a manner that allows them to be rotated, at one of their longitudinal sides to the longitudinal side of one of the abutting frames or the base element (8), the hinge-type connections (11) being arranged such that the side frames (4, 5, 6) can be tilted out of their operational positions.
