What 631-XXXXXXXX means

The AWB prefix 631 uniquely identifies Air Greenland as the issuing carrier and indicates that Air Greenland will handle the primary transport and delivery of the shipment. The following seven digits form the unique shipment serial number assigned by Air Greenland's cargo system. The final digit is a check digit calculated as the serial number divided by 7, using only the remainder (mod-7 calculation) to verify the AWB number's accuracy during processing and prevent data entry errors.

Air Greenland live animal transport

Air Greenland transports live animals under the IATA Live Animals Regulations (LAR), which govern container, ventilation, and species-specific handling requirements for livestock, day-old chicks, zoo animals, household pets, and laboratory animals. Bookings require species-specific documentation and approved containers; book through the cargo team with at least 48 hours notice.

Air Greenland specialized cargo handling

Air Greenland provides temperature-controlled logistics using specialized refrigeration units for perishable goods requiring low-temperature storage. Refrigerator and freezer facilities for handling refrigerated and frozen goods are available at cargo terminals in Kangerlussuaq, Ilulissat, and Nuuk.
