Prefix and carrier caveats
Prefix 001 identifies the issuing AWB record, not necessarily every airline operating an interline leg. An airport arrival can be a transit milestone and should not be treated as delivery without release or final delivery wording. New AWBs may not show events until cargo acceptance, manifestation, or handling-agent reporting is completed.
Official portal limitations
The official American Airlines Cargo portal is best for carrier-confirmed account actions and service requests. CargoEnter is better when 001 AWB events need to be shared with customers or kept with notes, files, and team follow-up.
When to use CargoEnter
Use CargoEnter to keep American Airlines Cargo cargo status, documents, and customer updates in one shipment workspace. Use CargoEnter when several 001 AWBs need to be watched across one project or team. Use the carrier portal when you need direct booking changes, formal support, or account-only actions.

Carrier-specific status notes
Accepted: The American Airlines Cargo AWB has entered cargo handling, but the main flight movement may still be pending. Departed: Read the airport and flight leg before assuming the cargo left the origin country or hub. Arrived: Arrival can describe a transfer airport; final delivery requires a destination release or delivery event.
