A freight container for air transport containing a floor element and a container structure, which is arranged on said floor element and which has lateral walls, a roof wall and a loading opening. The lateral walls and roof wall contain or are comprised of wall linings, which are composed of surface parts, in particular, of sheet metal elements. The loading opening is delimited up to the adjacent wall faces by terminating longitudinal edges. Two wall faces that abut against one another at an angle form a longitudinal edge. One or more longitudinal edges and/or terminating longitudinal edges of the container structure contain a reinforcing structure, whereby the reinforcing structure contains or is comprised of one or more surface parts, which can be reshaped once or a number of times and which are joined via joining zones in order to form the reinforcing structure. The reinforcing structure comprises a least one closed, channel-like hollow chamber extending in the direction of the longitudinal edge and is joined to the wall reinforcement via joining zones.

Here, the locking bolts are rigidly connected to the door bar. At least one of the locking bolts can be inserted in a corresponding latching recess in the container frame on the front side, and there is provided a locking tongue slidable on the front side over the insertion opening of the latching recess.
