How to track Brussels Airlines shipments

1. Go to https://sn.cargoclaims.aero/ and click on the tracking tool. 2. Enter your AWB prefix number in the format 082-XXXXXXXX where the first three digits (082) identify Brussels Airlines and the last digit is a check digit calculated using mod-7 (example: 082-12345675). 3. View real-time status updates showing the location and movement of your shipment through the cargo network. 4.

What 082-XXXXXXXX means

The 082 prefix identifies Brussels Airlines as the issuing carrier for the air waybill document. The seven-digit serial number following the prefix is the unique shipment identifier assigned to your specific cargo. The final digit is a check digit calculated as the serial number divided by 7, with only the remainder used (mod-7 calculation). For example, in AWB 082-12345675, the serial 1234567 divided by 7 gives remainder 5, making the complete AWB number 082-12345675. This prefix routing system ensures your shipment is properly handled within the Brussels Airlines cargo network and can be tracked through their systems.
