What 258-XXXXXXXX means

The AWB prefix 258 identifies Air Madagascar as the issuing carrier for the air waybill. The following 7 digits represent the unique serial number for your shipment, and the final digit is a check digit calculated by dividing the 7-digit serial number by 7 and using only the remainder (mod-7 calculation). For example, in AWB number 258-12345675, the prefix 258 routes the shipment through Air Madagascar's network, while 1234567 is the serial number and 5 is the check digit. This prefix system ensures proper routing and carrier identification throughout the air cargo network.
