1. Visit https://km.cargojet.com/ords/f?p=102:857 (Cargojet's official AWB tracking portal). 2. Enter your AWB number in the format 489-XXXXXXX where the last digit is a check digit calculated as mod-7 (example: 489-12345675). 3. View status updates including current package location, source, destination, dispatch and delivery dates, or delay information. 4. If online tracking is unavailable, contact Cargojet customer service at 1.800.753.1051 or cs@cargojet.com.

The AWB prefix 489 identifies Cargojet Airways and ensures the shipment is routed through their cargo network. Following the prefix is a 7-digit serial number that uniquely identifies the specific cargo shipment. The final digit is a check digit calculated using the mod-7 method – the 7-digit serial number divided by 7, with only the remainder used. This prefix system allows cargo handlers and tracking systems worldwide to immediately recognize that 489-prefixed airway bills belong to Cargojet Airways for processing and routing.

Cargojet Airways 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.
