LAM Cargo(TM) air cargo tracking

How to read a LAM Cargo(TM) air waybill number

068-80738604 format-valid example — not a live shipment

Air waybill numbers are 11 digits, usually printed like 068-80738604. The first three digits are the IATA airline prefix — 068 is LAM Cargo(TM)’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 LAM Cargo(TM) 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. 068-80738604. 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 068, 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

   Timing matters: a number that was only just issued may not show results yet, and carriers remove old shipments from public tracking a few weeks after delivery. If the shipment is very new or long delivered, an empty result doesn’t mean the number is wrong.

4. 4 Paste carefully on LAM Cargo(TM)’s page

   Because LAM Cargo(TM)’s form can’t be pre-filled from a link, paste the number exactly — with no leading or trailing spaces and no extra characters copied from an email. If the page shows a security check, complete it and search again.

5. 5 Still nothing?

   Contact whoever sold you the freight service (your forwarder, broker, or LAM Cargo(TM) directly) with the air waybill number and the booking reference — they can see internal status that public tracking doesn’t show.

Frequently asked questions

How do I track a LAM Cargo(TM) air waybill?

Enter your air waybill number in the box above and select Track. We open LAM Cargo(TM)’s official tracking page so you can paste your number. LAM Cargo(TM) air waybill numbers usually begin with 068.

What does a LAM Cargo(TM) 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 LAM Cargo(TM) the AWB prefix is 068. A format-valid example is 068-80738604.

Why does the LAM Cargo(TM) page open without my number filled in?

LAM Cargo(TM)’s tracking form is protected (captcha, login, or a non-shareable form), so the number can’t be passed in the link. We open the correct page — just paste your number there.

What if my number doesn’t start with 068?

Then it probably wasn’t issued by LAM Cargo(TM) — 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 LAM Cargo(TM)’s official tracking site?

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