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 Egyptair — directly to the freight forwarder. It begins with the airline's prefix: 077. 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 Egyptair's official portal, you need the MAWB starting with 077-. If you only have a HAWB, ask your freight forwarder for the corresponding MAWB.

Is 077 the only AWB prefix for Egyptair? +

Yes. 077 is the single IATA-assigned AWB prefix exclusively for Egyptair. IATA assigns one unique 3-digit prefix per airline. No other carrier uses prefix 077, so whenever you see an airway bill starting with 077, it is guaranteed to be a Egyptair shipment.

What if my 077 AWB shows no tracking status? +

Tracking status for a 077 AWB may not appear immediately after booking. It becomes visible only after the cargo has been physically accepted at a Egyptair 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 Egyptair cargo customer service or your freight forwarder directly.
