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 Air Seychelles — directly to the freight forwarder. It begins with the airline's prefix: 061. 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 Air Seychelles's official portal, you need the MAWB starting with 061-. If you only have a HAWB, ask your freight forwarder for the corresponding MAWB.

Yes. 061 is the single IATA-assigned AWB prefix exclusively for Air Seychelles. IATA assigns one unique 3-digit prefix per airline. No other carrier uses prefix 061, so whenever you see an airway bill starting with 061, it is guaranteed to be a Air Seychelles shipment.

What if my 061 AWB shows no tracking status? +

Tracking status for a 061 AWB may not appear immediately after booking. It becomes visible only after the cargo has been physically accepted at a Air Seychelles 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 Air Seychelles cargo customer service or your freight forwarder directly.
