Frequently asked questions
Where do I find the Delta Cargo AWB number?
The air waybill (AWB) number is printed at the top of the air waybill and on the shipping labels. It has 11 digits: the 3-digit airline prefix (006) followed by an 8-digit serial number, often written as 006-12345675.
My forwarder gave me a different number. Can I track it here?
Freight forwarders often issue their own house air waybill (HAWB). Airlines only know the master AWB, so ask your forwarder for the master AWB that starts with 006, or track the HAWB on the forwarder's website.
What is the last digit of the AWB?
The 8th digit of the serial is a check digit: it equals the first seven serial digits divided by 7, keeping the remainder. For example, in 006-12345675 the serial 1234567 ÷ 7 leaves 5. If the check digit does not match, the number has probably been mistyped.
Why does the airline show no information yet?
Shipments usually appear in the airline's system once the cargo has been booked or accepted at the origin airport. If the AWB was issued very recently, try again a few hours later.
Is this the official Delta Cargo website?
No. TrackandTrace.com is an independent tracking directory. We recognise the AWB and send you to the official tracking page on deltacargo.com, where the status comes from.
