US Airways Cargo Tracking
About
US Airways Cargo, which merged with American Airlines in December 2013, operated alongside American Airlines Cargo until April 2015 when they combined under a single air waybill. The merged cargo division generates over $800 million annually and moves more than one billion pounds of freight and mail. Cargo was the first operational division to be fully integrated after the merger, successfully combining 154 facilities since December 2013.
How to track US Airways shipments
1. Go to https://www.aacargo.com/AACargo/tracking for American Airlines Cargo tracking. 2. Enter your AWB number in the format 037-XXXXXXXX where 037 is the US Airways prefix followed by eight digits. 3. You will see status updates including booking confirmation, cargo received, cargo manifested, plane departed, plane arrived, cargo received and cargo delivered/collected. 4. If your shipment status has not updated after 24 hours, contact American Airlines Cargo customer service for assistance.
What 037-XXXXXXXX means
The 037 prefix identifies US Airways shipments, which are now handled by American Airlines Cargo following the 2015 merger. The 7-digit serial number is the unique shipment identifier assigned by the airline. The final digit is a check digit calculated as the serial number modulo 7 (remainder when divided by 7). When you see an air waybill starting with 037, it means the shipment is being processed through American Airlines Cargo's network, even though it originated under the legacy US Airways system.
