China Airlines Cargo Tracking

China Airlines Cargo, the freight division of China Airlines, Taiwan's flag carrier, operates a fleet of 21 freighters to 33 destinations across Asia, Europe and North America. Vibrant growth in electronics and e-commerce cargo in the first half of 2024 led to growth in cargo revenue compared to the same period last year and in 2019. International recognition of China Airlines' expertise in freight was reinforced by the renewal of the IATA Center of Excellence for Independent Validators in Pharmaceutical Logistics (CEIV Pharma) certification, becoming the first Taiwanese airline to receive CEIV Pharma certification from the IATA.

1. Go to https://cargo.china-airlines.com/CCNetv2/content/manage/ShipmentTracking.aspx to access the China Airlines cargo tracking system. 2. Enter your air waybill number in the format 297-XXXXXXXX where the last digit is a check digit calculated using mod-7 (example: 297-12345675). 3. You will see tracking milestones including booking confirmation, cargo received, cargo manifested, plane departed, plane arrived, and cargo delivered/collected. 4. If your shipment status has not updated after 24 hours, contact China Airlines cargo customer service for assistance.

The AWB prefix 297 uniquely identifies China Airlines as the issuing carrier and determines which airline's system will handle the shipment throughout its journey. The seven-digit serial number is the unique shipment identifier assigned by China Airlines. The final digit is a check digit calculated by dividing the serial number by 7 and using only the remainder (mod-7 calculation). For example, if the serial is 1234567, dividing by 7 gives remainder 5, making the complete AWB 297-12345675. This prefix ensures proper routing and that China Airlines cargo handling procedures apply to your shipment.

China Airlines holds IATA CEIV Pharma certification for handling temperature-controlled pharmaceutical shipments. CEIV is the IATA-administered audit standard that validates a carrier's end-to-end cold-chain procedures, staff training, and facilities against pharma-grade requirements.

Bookings require species-specific documentation and approved containers; book through the cargo team with at least 48 hours notice.

The airline specializes in electronics, perishables, pharmaceuticals, e-commerce, and express shipments. China Airlines entered the pharmaceutical cold-chain logistics market in 2013 and pioneered the use of active temperature-controlled containers in 2014.
