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 Aeromexico — directly to the freight forwarder. It begins with the airline's prefix: 139. 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 Aeromexico's official portal, you need the MAWB starting with 139-. If you only have a HAWB, ask your freight forwarder for the corresponding MAWB.

Yes. 139 is the single IATA-assigned AWB prefix exclusively for Aeromexico. IATA assigns one unique 3-digit prefix per airline. No other carrier uses prefix 139, so whenever you see an airway bill starting with 139, it is guaranteed to be a Aeromexico shipment.

What if my 139 AWB shows no tracking status? +

Tracking status for a 139 AWB may not appear immediately after booking. It becomes visible only after the cargo has been physically accepted at a Aeromexico 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 Aeromexico cargo customer service or your freight forwarder directly.
