Step by step
How to track a shipment on Etihad Cargo
Use the master air waybill number on Etihad Cargo's own tracking page. The status you see there comes straight from the airline.
- Find the AWB number. It is on the air waybill and the booking confirmation, and starts with 607. A reference with letters in it may be a forwarder's house AWB, which the airline can't track; ask the forwarder for the master AWB.
- Check the digits. Type it in the box above. It confirms the airline and runs the check-digit test, which catches most typing mistakes.
- Open the airline's tracker. Etihad Cargo's tracking page has the prefix field filled in with 607; type the eight-digit number next to it. It tracks one AWB per search and needs no login.

India–USA shipments
Tracking Etihad Cargo shipments between India and the USA
Etihad Cargo's network map shows its US flights as cargo in the hold of passenger flights to and from Abu Dhabi, so India–USA cargo on Etihad connects in Abu Dhabi.
Etihad Cargo's network map also shows a US trucking network from New York JFK, Chicago, Washington Dulles, Los Angeles and Columbus Rickenbacker. Source

What to watch for
- Master vs house AWB. If a forwarder consolidated your cargo, the airline only knows the master AWB. Your house AWB number won't show on Etihad Cargo's tracker.
- Connecting legs. Each flight shows its own departure (DEP) and arrival (RCF). A transfer (TFD) means another airline took over, and the later legs may only show on that airline's tracker.
- Arrival is not customs release. NFD means the cargo is at the US airport and the consignee has been told. The import still needs a US customs entry, usually filed by a licensed customs broker, before the cargo can leave the airport.
- Indian export clearance comes first. Air cargo leaving India must be cleared by Indian Customs against a shipping bill before it flies. The airline's tracker shows flight milestones, not the export clearance.

Status codes
What Etihad Cargo tracking statuses mean
Airline trackers use the same standard status codes. These are the ones you are most likely to see.
| Code | Status | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| BKD | Booked | Space is booked on a named flight. The booking can still change before the airline accepts the cargo. |
| RCS | Received from shipper | The airline or its ground handler has taken the cargo from the shipper or forwarder and accepted it for carriage. |
| MAN | Manifested | The shipment is listed on the cargo manifest of a specific flight. |
| DEP | Departed | The flight carrying the shipment has left. A connecting routing shows one departure per leg. |
| TFD | Transferred | The shipment was handed to another airline for the next leg; that airline's tracker may show the rest of the journey. |
| RCT | Received from another airline | The shipment was taken over from another airline for the next leg. |
| RCF | Received from flight | The shipment was unloaded and checked into the warehouse, either at a transit hub or at destination. |
| NFD | Consignee notified | The shipment has arrived at destination and the consignee, or its agent, has been told. |
| AWD | Documents delivered | The arrival documents were handed to the consignee or its agent. |
| CCD | Cleared by customs | Customs has released the shipment. |
| DLV | Delivered | The airline released the shipment to the consignee or its agent. For a consolidation, that is usually the forwarder's agent at destination. |
| DIS | Discrepancy | Something does not match, such as missing or extra pieces, damage or missing documents. The handler records the details. |

Questions
Etihad Cargo tracking: FAQs
How do I track a shipment on Etihad Cargo?
Use Etihad Cargo's own tracking page with the 11-digit air waybill number. Etihad Cargo's tracking page has the prefix field filled in with 607; type the eight-digit number next to it. It tracks one AWB per search and needs no login. If you enter the number in the lookup on this page first, the button opens the airline's tracker with the number already filled in.
What is the Etihad Cargo AWB prefix?
607. It is the first three digits of the 11-digit AWB number, so a Etihad Cargo air waybill reads 607- followed by eight digits. It is not the same as the two-character airline code (EY) used on flight numbers.
How can I tell if a Etihad Cargo AWB number is valid?
It should have 11 digits: the prefix (607) and an eight-digit serial. The last digit is a check digit: the first seven digits of the serial, divided by 7, must leave it as the remainder. In 607-12345675, 1,234,567 divided by 7 leaves 5. The lookup on this page runs the check and catches most typing mistakes.
How does a Etihad Cargo shipment from India to the USA show on the tracker?
Etihad Cargo's network map shows its US flights as cargo in the hold of passenger flights to and from Abu Dhabi, so India–USA cargo on Etihad connects in Abu Dhabi. Each flight leg normally has its own departure (DEP) and arrival (RCF) update, and NFD shows once the cargo has arrived at destination and the consignee has been told.
Why doesn't my Etihad Cargo AWB show a result?
First check the prefix. A number that doesn't start with 607 was issued by another airline, even if Etihad Cargo flies part of the route, so track it with that airline. A house AWB from a forwarder is not in the airline's system; ask for the master AWB. A new booking may not show until the airline has received the cargo.
Can Atmavaan track my Etihad Cargo shipment?
Atmavaan does not run its own airline tracking. If Atmavaan booked your air freight on Etihad Cargo, your Atmavaan contact has the flight milestones and can arrange US customs clearance and delivery from the airport. For an AWB booked by someone else, use Etihad Cargo's tracker or ask whoever booked it.
