What 880-XXXXXXXX means

The 880 AWB prefix specifically identifies Hainan Airlines as the issuing carrier and ensures the shipment is routed through their cargo network. The 7-digit serial number following the prefix is the unique identifier for each individual shipment. The final digit is a check digit calculated using the mod-7 method: the seven-digit serial number is divided by 7, and the remainder becomes the check digit (for example, if the serial is 1234567, dividing by 7 gives remainder 5, so the complete AWB becomes 880-12345675).
