AWB prefix 312 belongs to IndiGo (IATA code 6E, ICAO code IGO), based in India. All air waybills with this prefix follow the format 312-XXXXXXXX and were issued by IndiGo or by a freight forwarder on their behalf.

What does AWB prefix 312 mean? +

An IATA AWB prefix is always exactly 3 digits (ranging from 000 to 999). It forms the first part of an 11-digit air waybill number in the standard format XXX-XXXXXXXX. Prefix 312 identifies IndiGo. IATA maintains a registry of all assigned prefixes and each is unique to one airline.

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 IndiGo — directly to the freight forwarder. It begins with the airline's prefix: 312. 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 IndiGo's official portal, you need the MAWB starting with 312-. If you only have a HAWB, ask your freight forwarder for the corresponding MAWB.

Is 312 the only AWB prefix for IndiGo? +

Yes. 312 is the single IATA-assigned AWB prefix exclusively for IndiGo. IATA assigns one unique 3-digit prefix per airline. No other carrier uses prefix 312, so whenever you see an airway bill starting with 312, it is guaranteed to be a IndiGo shipment.

What if my 312 AWB shows no tracking status? +

Tracking status for a 312 AWB may not appear immediately after booking. It becomes visible only after the cargo has been physically accepted at a IndiGo 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 IndiGo cargo customer service or your freight forwarder directly.
