A Master Air Waybill (MAWB) is issued by the airline — in this case Avianca — directly to the freight forwarder. It begins with the airline's prefix: 134. 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 Avianca's official portal, you need the MAWB starting with 134-. If you only have a HAWB, ask your freight forwarder for the corresponding MAWB.

What if my 134 AWB shows no tracking status? +

Tracking status for a 134 AWB may not appear immediately after booking. It becomes visible only after the cargo has been physically accepted at a Avianca 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 Avianca cargo customer service or your freight forwarder directly.
