American Airlines Cargo is the freight division of American Airlines, the world's largest airline by fleet size and revenue.

The airline offers specialized services for pharmaceuticals, live animals, and expedited shipments.
Use the tracking form with a complete 001 air waybill reference. CargoEnter organizes reported events into a timeline so the latest completed movement can be separated from estimated next steps.
Tracking availability and event detail depend on information supplied by American Airlines Cargo, terminals, airports, and handling partners. An arrival can describe a transit location and should not be treated as final delivery without a delivery or release event.
If tracking does not update, verify the reference format first. Newly issued references, interline handovers, transshipment, and delayed operational reporting can temporarily leave the timeline unchanged.
Supported AWB reference
Use the complete 001 prefix followed by the eight-digit air waybill sequence. The issuing airline can differ from an airline operating a later interline flight.
Understanding airline statuses
Booked and manifested events describe planning. Received confirms cargo acceptance. Departed and arrived describe individual flight legs, while delivered or an equivalent final event confirms completion.
Troubleshooting missing updates
Check the AWB format and issuing airline first. Newly issued records, handling-agent reporting, and interline transfers can delay the next visible event.
Frequently asked questions
How do I track a American Airlines Cargo shipment?
Enter your American Airlines Cargo AWB number in the format 001-XXXXXXXX (11 digits total). You can find this number on your shipping documents, cargo receipt, or booking confirmation.
What does the 001 AWB prefix mean?
The 001 prefix is American Airlines Cargo's unique IATA airline code. All American Airlines Cargo air waybills start with 001, followed by an 8-digit shipment number.
How long does American Airlines Cargo tracking take to update?
American Airlines Cargo tracking updates when the airline or handling network reports a new shipment event. Timing varies by airport, handling agent, flight operation, and data source, so a physical movement may appear before the next digital milestone.
Can I track multiple American Airlines Cargo shipments at once?
Yes. CargoEnter can organize multiple American Airlines Cargo AWBs in shipment workspaces so teams can review status, documents, notes, and follow-up in one place. Available limits depend on the selected CargoEnter plan.
Can a 001 AWB travel on another airline?
Yes. Prefix 001 identifies American Airlines Cargo as the issuing airline, but interline shipment legs can be operated by another airline. Read each airport and flight event separately.
Why is my American Airlines Cargo shipment not updating?
Verify the complete reference and carrier first. The next physical movement may not yet have been reported by the carrier, terminal, airport, or handling agent.
Does an arrival status mean the American Airlines Cargo shipment is delivered?
Not necessarily. Arrival can describe an intermediate port or airport. Look for a final delivery, release, or equivalent destination event.
