About

European Air Transport, originally founded in Belgium in 1971 and dissolved in 2010 when operations merged into European Air Transport Leipzig, operated as a DHL Group cargo airline specializing in express parcel services across Europe. The airline was the largest operator of the DHL European air network, with Leipzig/Halle Airport serving as its primary hub after the move from Brussels in 2008. European Air Transport Leipzig now provides ad hoc charter services including livestock transport and employs around 500 pilots and 750 ground and technical personnel.

What 423-XXXXXXXX means

The 615 prefix identifies European Air Transport Leipzig (QY) as the airline handling your cargo shipment, with each air waybill number consisting of 11 digits where the first 3 digits are the airline prefix code. The 7-digit serial number following the prefix is unique to your specific shipment. The final digit is a check digit calculated using modulo-7, meaning the 7-digit serial number is divided by 7 and the remainder becomes the check digit (for example, if the serial is 1234567, then 1234567 ÷ 7 = 176366 remainder 5, making the complete AWB 615-12345675).
