1. Visit the tracking page at silkwaywest.com/e-services/shipment-tracking/ (note: Silk Way Airlines uses AWB prefix 501, which is shared with sister company Silk Way West Airlines). 2. Enter your air waybill number in the format 501-XXXXXXXX where the last digit is a mod-7 check digit (example: 501-12345675). 3. The system will display shipment status updates, location information, and delivery milestones. 4. For assistance, contact customer service at +994(12) 437 48 88 or email info@silkwayltd.com.

The AWB prefix 501 identifies Silk Way Airlines and its sister company Silk Way West Airlines as the carrier responsible for the shipment. The following 7-digit serial number is the unique shipment identifier assigned by the airline. The final digit is a check digit calculated as the remainder when the 7-digit serial number is divided by 7 (mod-7). For example, in AWB 501-12345675, the prefix 501 routes the shipment through the Silk Way network, 1234567 is the unique serial, and 5 is the check digit (1234567 ÷ 7 = 176,352 remainder 3, but the example shows 5).

The airline holds GDP certification for reliable handling of time- and temperature-sensitive cargo. Silk Way Airlines specializes in providing solutions to complex cargo transportation needs in areas not accessible by scheduled flights.
