China Cargo Airlines Cargo Tracking
About
China Cargo Airlines, established on July 30, 1998 and starting operations in October 1998, is China's first all-cargo airline operating dedicated freight services. It operates as a joint venture between China Eastern Airlines (70%) and China Ocean Shipping (30%) with 9 freighters and access to over 600 passenger aircraft belly space. The carrier expects to expand to 18 Boeing 777Fs by the end of 2025 as part of its fleet modernization program.
How to track China Cargo Airlines shipments
1. Visit a third-party tracking platform such as Shipsgo or Parcelsapp, as China Cargo Airlines' official tracking portal is not accessible. 2. Enter your AWB prefix number in the format 112-XXXXXXXX where the last digit is a check digit calculated using mod-7 (example: 112-12345675). 3. You will see status updates showing acceptance, departure, arrival, and delivery milestones. 4. For detailed queries, contact your freight forwarder directly as China Cargo Airlines primarily works through intermediaries rather than direct shipper bookings.
What 112-XXXXXXXX means
The 112 AWB prefix uniquely identifies China Cargo Airlines in the global air cargo system, routing shipments through their network centered at Shanghai Pudong International Airport. The 7-digit serial number following the prefix is the unique shipment identifier assigned sequentially by the carrier. The final digit is a check digit calculated by dividing the 7-digit serial number by 7 and using only the remainder (mod-7 calculation). This prefix ensures that cargo agents, customs authorities, and connecting carriers worldwide can instantly recognize that the shipment is handled by China Cargo Airlines and apply the appropriate routing and handling procedures.
China Cargo Airlines specialized cargo handling
China Cargo Airlines operates 6 cargo terminals with ramp access covering 1.25 million square meters, including bonded warehouses and cross-border e-commerce areas. The carrier provides specialized transportation services according to IATA regulations for various cargo types with time-sensitive requirements.
