The 344 AWB prefix identifies Lynden Air Cargo as the issuing carrier and determines which airline handles the shipment. Following this prefix are seven digits that form the unique shipment serial number. The final digit is a check digit calculated using the mod-7 formula – the serial number divided by 7 with only the remainder used (for example, serial 1234567 ÷ 7 = 176,366 remainder 5, so the check digit is 5, creating AWB 344-12345675). When customs, handling agents, or connecting carriers see the 344 prefix, they know the shipment belongs to Lynden Air Cargo's system for routing and processing.

Lynden Air Cargo transports live animals under the IATA Live Animals Regulations (LAR), which govern container, ventilation, and species-specific handling requirements for livestock, day-old chicks, zoo animals, household pets, and laboratory animals. Bookings require species-specific documentation and approved containers; book through the cargo team with at least 48 hours notice.

Lynden can ship chilled or frozen wild game meat or seafood within Alaska and also transports taxidermy shipments and antlers. The carrier handles a range of commodities from mail and groceries to fresh seafood, household goods, vehicles, heavy machinery and animals.
