Thai Airways Cargo Tracking

Thai Cargo, the cargo division of Thai Airways International, traces its origins to 1960 and formally began specialized air cargo operations in 1971 with a dedicated cargo terminal at Don Mueang International Airport. The division operates from its primary hub at Suvarnabhumi Airport in Bangkok, leveraging the belly space of Thai Airways' modern wide-body fleet. In 2006, THAI invested over 3,800 million baht in a state-of-the-art 90,000-square-meter cargo facility at Suvarnabhumi, and today maintains a 65% market share in Thailand's air cargo sector.

Enter your AWB number in the format 217-12345678 where 217 is the AWB prefix and the last digit is calculated as the 7-digit serial number mod 7 (example: 217-12345675). 3. View real-time status updates including departure, arrival, and delivery confirmations for your shipment. 4.

The AWB prefix 217 identifies Thai Airways as the issuing carrier and indicates that Thai Airways will handle the shipment or coordinate with partner carriers for delivery. The 7-digit serial number is the unique shipment identifier assigned sequentially by Thai Airways. The final digit is a check digit calculated as the remainder when the 7-digit serial number is divided by 7 (mod-7), which helps validate the AWB number and prevent data entry errors during processing.

Thai Airways 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.
