A Master Air Waybill (MAWB) is issued by the airline — in this case AirBlue — directly to the freight forwarder. It begins with the airline's prefix: 084. 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 AirBlue's official portal, you need the MAWB starting with 084-. If you only have a HAWB, ask your freight forwarder for the corresponding MAWB.

Yes. 084 is the single IATA-assigned AWB prefix exclusively for AirBlue. IATA assigns one unique 3-digit prefix per airline. No other carrier uses prefix 084, so whenever you see an airway bill starting with 084, it is guaranteed to be a AirBlue shipment.

What if my 084 AWB shows no tracking status? +

Tracking status for a 084 AWB may not appear immediately after booking. It becomes visible only after the cargo has been physically accepted at a AirBlue 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 AirBlue cargo customer service or your freight forwarder directly.
