Northern Air Cargo Cargo Tracking

Northern Air Cargo, established in 1956 as a charter airfreight service with two C-82 "Flying Boxcars," is the largest all-cargo carrier in Alaska. Based in Anchorage, Alaska, NAC specializes in transporting vehicles, oversized freight, declared hazardous materials, and live animals throughout Alaska and previously served Latin American markets. In July 2025, the airline withdrew from long-haul Boeing 767 operations and Latin American routes to focus on domestic Alaska operations.

1. Go to [https://nacwebtracker.wisegrid.net/](https://nacwebtracker.wisegrid.net/) for NAC Connect shipments or use your Northern Air Cargo air waybill number with third-party tracking services. 2. Enter your AWB prefix number in the format 345-XXXXXXXX where the last digit is a check digit (example: 345-12345675). 3. You will see status updates including acceptance, departure, arrival, and delivery information for your shipment. 4. For assistance, contact NAC customer service at the phone numbers listed on their website.

The AWB prefix 345 identifies Northern Air Cargo as the issuing airline for the air waybill, ensuring proper routing and handling by the correct carrier. The seven-digit serial number following the prefix is the unique identifier for each specific shipment. The final digit is a check digit calculated using the mod-7 method: divide the seven-digit serial number by 7 and use only the remainder (0-6) as the check digit to verify the AWB number's accuracy.

Northern 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.
