Cargolux Italia Cargo Tracking

Cargolux Italia S.p.A., established in December 2008 and commenced operations in June 2009, is an Italian all-cargo airline formed as a joint venture between Italian interests and Cargolux Airlines International S.A. The carrier has grown to be the number one all-cargo carrier in Italy and the largest cargo operator at Milan airport, operating primarily in the Italian cargo market which serves as a major European hub for imports and exports. The airline operates a fleet of four Boeing 747-400 freighter aircraft, each named after prominent Alpine mountains, serving key Asian destinations including Hong Kong, Tokyo Narita, and Zhengzhou from its Milan Malpensa hub.

The AWB prefix 356 specifically identifies Cargolux Italia and distinguishes it from the parent company Cargolux Airlines International which uses prefix 172. The air waybill number has 11 digits with the first 3 digits being the AWB prefix/airline prefix code. Following the 356 prefix is an 8-digit number consisting of a 7-digit serial number that uniquely identifies the shipment, and a final check digit calculated using the mod-7 formula (the serial number divided by 7, with only the remainder used). The prefix ensures proper routing and indicates that Cargolux Italia will handle the shipment from acceptance through delivery.

Cargolux Italia 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.

Cargolux Italia operates Boeing 747-8 and 747-400 freighters with four independently controlled temperature zones enabling the transportation of different types of commodities on the same flight with constant temperatures within each zone, supporting cold chain requirements for pharmaceutical and temperature-sensitive cargo. The carrier offers specialized handling for live animals, artwork, and high precision machinery with expert handling procedures.
