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 Turkish Cargo — directly to the freight forwarder. It begins with the airline's prefix: 605. 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 Turkish Cargo's official portal, you need the MAWB starting with 605-. If you only have a HAWB, ask your freight forwarder for the corresponding MAWB.

Yes. 605 is the single IATA-assigned AWB prefix exclusively for Turkish Cargo. IATA assigns one unique 3-digit prefix per airline. No other carrier uses prefix 605, so whenever you see an airway bill starting with 605, it is guaranteed to be a Turkish Cargo shipment.

What if my 605 AWB shows no tracking status? +

Tracking status for a 605 AWB may not appear immediately after booking. It becomes visible only after the cargo has been physically accepted at a Turkish Cargo 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 Turkish Cargo cargo customer service or your freight forwarder directly.
