What 101-XXXXXXXX means
The AWB prefix 101 identifies Air Dolomiti as the issuing carrier, though cargo operations are integrated with Lufthansa Cargo systems as part of the Lufthansa Group. The prefix is a 3-digit code that identifies an airline and stands at the beginning of each air waybill number, with the full AWB containing 11 digits. The 7-digit serial number following the prefix is the unique shipment identifier, and the final digit is a check digit calculated as the serial number modulo 7 (the remainder when divided by 7). This routing prefix ensures proper handling within the Lufthansa Group's cargo network.
