British Airways Cargo Tracking

IAG Cargo was formed in April 2011 from the merger of British Airways World Cargo and Iberia Cargo, combining a workforce of more than 2,400 people covering a global network of over 350 destinations. In 2024, British Airways Cargo moved 1.1 billion lb of freight, generating $1.3 bn in revenue (↑14% YoY). In 2024, British Airways Cargo expanded its cold chain capacity at Heathrow and Gatwick Airports to handle perishable goods and time-sensitive shipments more efficiently.

1. Go to https://www.iagcargo.com/ and enter your Air Waybill number to get the latest updates on your shipment. 2. Enter your AWB number in the format 125-12345678 where the last digit is a mod-7 check digit. 3. View updates including booking confirmation, cargo received, cargo manifested, plane departed, plane arrived, cargo received and cargo delivered/collected as your cargo moves through the IAG Cargo network. 4. You can also track your shipment by contacting your local IAG Cargo office.

The 125 AWB prefix identifies British Airways shipments, followed by an 8-digit serial number that serves as the unique shipment identifier. The final digit is a check digit calculated using the mod-7 method, where the 7-digit serial number is divided by 7 and only the remainder is used. This single number grants access to all British Airways Cargo Tracking details via the public tracking tools or the IAG portal. When you see AWB prefix 125, it means the shipment is being handled by IAG Cargo under the British Airways brand, utilizing their extensive network of passenger aircraft belly cargo capacity.
