Questions
What is the SkyCargo AWB prefix?
176. Every Emirates SkyCargo air waybill number starts with 176, followed by 8 more digits.
Why can't SkyCargo find my air waybill?
Tracking usually starts once SkyCargo accepts the cargo (status RCS). Before that, the number may exist but show nothing. Check that the number starts with 176. If you have a forwarder's number with letters, it's a house waybill: ask the forwarder for the master AWB.
Where is my SkyCargo AWB number?
On the air waybill (top corners), in your forwarder's booking confirmation, or on the shipping notice from the seller.
Can I ship lithium batteries or other dangerous goods with SkyCargo?
Check the item first in our UN number lookup: it gives the hazard class and how much can go in one package on a passenger or cargo aircraft. Airlines can add their own restrictions, so confirm with SkyCargo or your forwarder before booking.
Is this the official tracking site?
No. a-w-b.com is an independent lookup that sends you to Emirates SkyCargo's own tracking page. Status and contact questions go to SkyCargo.
