What 232-XXXXXXXX means

MASkargo - Malaysia Airlines AWB starts with airline prefix '232' followed by eight digits. The 232 prefix identifies Malaysia Airlines as the carrier responsible for handling and transporting the shipment. The 7-digit serial number is the unique shipment identifier assigned by MASkargo's booking system. The final digit is a check digit calculated as the serial number divided by 7, remainder only (mod-7) - for example, if the serial is 1234567, dividing by 7 gives remainder 4, so the full AWB would be 232-12345674.
