ITA(AZ) air cargo tracking

How to read an ITA(AZ) air waybill number

055-27175831 format-valid example — not a live shipment

Air waybill numbers are 11 digits, usually printed like 055-27175831. The first three digits are the IATA airline prefix — 055 is ITA(AZ)’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 ITA(AZ) 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. 055-27175831. 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 055, 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 ITA(AZ)’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.

Frequently asked questions

How do I track an ITA(AZ) air waybill?

Enter your air waybill number in the box above and select Track. We open ITA(AZ)’s official tracking page with your number already applied. ITA(AZ) air waybill numbers usually begin with 055.

What does an ITA(AZ) air waybill number look like?

Air waybill (AWB) numbers have 11 digits: a 3-digit airline prefix and an 8-digit serial, usually written like 176-12345678. The prefix identifies the airline. For ITA(AZ) the AWB prefix is 055. A format-valid example is 055-27175831.

Can I bookmark or share my ITA(AZ) tracking link?

Yes — ITA(AZ) accepts the air waybill number in the page address, so once the tracking page opens you can bookmark it or send the link to a colleague and it will show the same shipment.

What if my number doesn’t start with 055?

Then it probably wasn’t issued by ITA(AZ) — shipments booked through a freight forwarder or partner carrier often travel under a different issuer’s air waybill number. Paste the number on our homepage and the prefix detector will suggest the right airline, or check your shipping documents for who issued them.

Is this ITA(AZ)’s official tracking site?

No — this is an independent directory of official carrier tracking pages. We keep a verified link to ITA(AZ)’s own tracking page and send you there; the tracking data you see comes directly from ITA(AZ), and we never see or store it.
