What is the difference between a Master AWB and a House AWB? +

A Master Air Waybill (MAWB) is issued by the airline — in this case Camair-Co — directly to the freight forwarder. It begins with the airline's prefix: 040. A House Air Waybill (HAWB) is issued by the freight forwarder to the individual shipper and uses the forwarder's own numbering system. For tracking on Camair-Co's official portal, you need the MAWB starting with 040-. If you only have a HAWB, ask your freight forwarder for the corresponding MAWB.

Yes. 040 is the single IATA-assigned AWB prefix exclusively for Camair-Co. IATA assigns one unique 3-digit prefix per airline. No other carrier uses prefix 040, so whenever you see an airway bill starting with 040, it is guaranteed to be a Camair-Co shipment.

What if my 040 AWB shows no tracking status? +

Tracking status for a 040 AWB may not appear immediately after booking. It becomes visible only after the cargo has been physically accepted at a Camair-Co cargo terminal and the AWB has been activated in their system. This typically takes 2–8 hours after acceptance. If your AWB still shows no status after 12 hours, contact Camair-Co cargo customer service or your freight forwarder directly.
