How to read a Fedex Freight Cargo(FX) air waybill number

023-68563751 example only — not a real shipment

Air waybill numbers are 11 digits, usually printed like 023-68563751. The first three digits are the IATA airline prefix — 023 is Fedex Freight Cargo(FX)’s — and the remaining eight are the serial, where the last digit is a check digit (the first seven digits modulo 7).

One AWB covers the whole consignment (there is no per-piece number), and unlike container numbers, AWB serials are recycled by airlines after roughly a year — so a very old number can show someone else’s shipment.

If your Fedex Freight Cargo(FX) tracking isn’t working

1. 1 Check the number format first

   An air waybill is 11 digits — a 3-digit airline prefix and an 8-digit serial, e.g. 023-68563751. Enter it with or without the dash, but don’t drop leading zeros from the serial.

2. 2 Make sure the number was issued by this carrier

   If your serial doesn’t start with 023, the AWB was issued by a different airline or a freight forwarder (a “house” AWB). Track house AWBs with the forwarder; the airline only sees its own “master” AWB.

3. 3 Too early or too late

   New shipments can take a little while to appear — most carriers only start returning results once the air waybill is in their system after export gate-in or acceptance. Long-delivered shipments drop out too: tracking data is usually purged weeks or months after delivery.

4. 4 Still nothing?

   Your booking agent or Fedex Freight Cargo(FX)’s customer service can look the shipment up internally — have the air waybill number and the issuing office or booking reference handy when you ask.
