Tracking status for a 990 AWB may not appear immediately after booking. It becomes visible only after the cargo has been physically accepted at a Lion Airlines 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 Lion Airlines cargo customer service or your freight forwarder directly.
