About

Shanghai Airlines Cargo was a joint venture cargo airline established in June 2006 between Shanghai Airlines and Taiwan-based EVA Air, serving as one of the early dedicated freight carriers in China's rapidly expanding e-commerce and export markets. The airline operated freighter aircraft including Boeing 757-200F and McDonnell Douglas MD-11F aircraft, connecting Shanghai's cargo hubs to key destinations across Asia and trans-Pacific routes to cities like Los Angeles, Chicago, and Anchorage. Shanghai Airlines Cargo operated until 2011 when it was merged into China Cargo Airlines along with Great Wall Airlines, consolidating China's air cargo operations under China Eastern Airlines' broader logistics network.

How to track Shanghai Airlines shipments

1. Shanghai Airlines Cargo ceased operations in 2011 and was merged into China Cargo Airlines - all current cargo operations are handled under prefix 112 by China Cargo Airlines rather than the original 825 prefix. 2. For historical shipments that used the 825 prefix, contact China Eastern Airlines cargo services through their website at https://cargo2.ce-air.com/MU/ (available in Chinese) or phone +86-21-95530. 3. Enter your historical AWB number in the format 825-XXXXXXX (8 digits) - note that the check digit calculation follows standard IATA procedures. 4. Current freight bookings should be made with China Cargo Airlines (prefix 112) or contact freight forwarders who work with China Eastern's current cargo network.

What 825-XXXXXXXX means

The 825 prefix was historically assigned to Shanghai Airlines Cargo, which operated as an independent freight carrier from 2006 to 2011. The 7-digit serial number following the prefix identified the unique shipment, with a final check digit calculated using the mod-7 method (serial number divided by 7, remainder only). Since Shanghai Airlines Cargo merged into China Cargo Airlines in 2011, the 825 prefix is no longer actively used for new shipments, and all current cargo operations under the China Eastern Airlines network use the 112 prefix for China Cargo Airlines.
