How to track LAN Airlines shipments
1. Go to the LATAM Cargo tracking website at https://www.latamcargo.com/en/trackshipment. 2. Enter your AWB prefix and air waybill number in the format 045-XXXXXXXX where it must be 8 digits, including leading zeros (example: 045-12345675). 3. The system will display your shipment status including departure times, transit updates, and estimated arrival. 4. If your shipment is not displayed, contact Customer Care for assistance.
What 045-XXXXXXXX means
The 045 AWB prefix identifies LAN Airlines (now LATAM Cargo Chile) as the issuing carrier, while the 7-digit serial number is a unique identifier for your specific shipment. The final digit is a check digit calculated using the mod-7 method - the 7-digit serial number is divided by 7, and the remainder becomes the check digit. This prefix ensures your cargo is routed through LAN Airlines' network and handled by their cargo operations.
