A Master Air Waybill (MAWB) is issued by the airline — in this case Wizz Air — directly to the freight forwarder. It begins with the airline's prefix: 908. A House Air Waybill (HAWB) is issued by the freight forwarder to the individual shipper and uses the forwarder's own numbering system.

What if my 908 AWB shows no tracking status? +
Tracking status for a 908 AWB may not appear immediately after booking. It becomes visible only after the cargo has been physically accepted at a Wizz Air 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 Wizz Air cargo customer service or your freight forwarder directly.
