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 CityJet's official portal, you need the MAWB starting with 689-. If you only have a HAWB, ask your freight forwarder for the corresponding MAWB.

What if my 689 AWB shows no tracking status? +

Tracking status for a 689 AWB may not appear immediately after booking. It becomes visible only after the cargo has been physically accepted at a CityJet 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 CityJet cargo customer service or your freight forwarder directly.
