A Master Air Waybill (MAWB) is issued by the airline — in this case Israir — directly to the freight forwarder. It begins with the airline's prefix: 818. 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 Israir's official portal, you need the MAWB starting with 818-. If you only have a HAWB, ask your freight forwarder for the corresponding MAWB.

Yes. 818 is the single IATA-assigned AWB prefix exclusively for Israir. IATA assigns one unique 3-digit prefix per airline. No other carrier uses prefix 818, so whenever you see an airway bill starting with 818, it is guaranteed to be a Israir shipment.

What if my 818 AWB shows no tracking status? +

Tracking status for a 818 AWB may not appear immediately after booking. It becomes visible only after the cargo has been physically accepted at a Israir 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 Israir cargo customer service or your freight forwarder directly.
