Air Berlin Cargo Tracking
About
Air Berlin was a major German airline that was headquartered in Berlin and at its peak was Germany's second-largest airline after Lufthansa, as well as Europe's tenth-largest airline in terms of passengers carried. The airline's cargo operations were managed through its subsidiary Leisure Cargo, which operated as a freight space broker managing cargo space in passenger aircraft since 2013. Air Berlin entered insolvency proceedings in August 2017 and ceased all operations under its own flight numbers in October 2017, with Leisure Cargo being acquired by the Zeitfracht Group to continue cargo operations.
How to track Air Berlin shipments
1. Go to https://leisurecargo.com/tracking (the current successor to Air Berlin cargo operations). 2. Enter your air waybill number in the format 745-XXXXXXXX where the last digit is a mod-7 check digit (example: 745-12345675). 3. You will see status updates including location, estimated delivery date, and any handling delays or congestion points. 4. For shipments not updating after 24 hours, contact Leisure Cargo directly via their website contact form or call the cargo customer service number.
What 745-XXXXXXXX means
The AWB prefix 745 identifies Air Berlin as the issuing carrier, meaning shipments bearing this prefix are handled through Air Berlin's cargo network (now operated by Leisure Cargo following Air Berlin's 2017 insolvency). The following 7-digit serial number is unique to each shipment, while the final digit is a check digit calculated using the mod-7 formula - the 7-digit serial divided by 7, with only the remainder used. This prefix system ensures proper routing and identifies which carrier is responsible for the shipment throughout the supply chain.
Air Berlin specialized cargo handling
Leisure Cargo specializes in turn-key cargo sales and service concepts providing full logistical services including sales, handling and road feeder service. The company operates as a general sales agent managing belly cargo space for leisure and tourism-oriented airlines.
