What does AWB prefix 126 mean? +

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 Garuda Indonesia — directly to the freight forwarder. It begins with the airline's prefix: 126. 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 Garuda Indonesia's official portal, you need the MAWB starting with 126-. If you only have a HAWB, ask your freight forwarder for the corresponding MAWB.
Is 126 the only AWB prefix for Garuda Indonesia? +
Yes. 126 is the single IATA-assigned AWB prefix exclusively for Garuda Indonesia. IATA assigns one unique 3-digit prefix per airline. No other carrier uses prefix 126, so whenever you see an airway bill starting with 126, it is guaranteed to be a Garuda Indonesia shipment.
What if my 126 AWB shows no tracking status? +
Tracking status for a 126 AWB may not appear immediately after booking. It becomes visible only after the cargo has been physically accepted at a Garuda Indonesia 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 Garuda Indonesia cargo customer service or your freight forwarder directly.
