Cathay Pacific Cargo is a major cargo carrier based in Hong Kong, serving as a vital link between Asia and the rest of the world.

The airline operates from Hong Kong International Airport, one of the world's busiest cargo hubs.
Use the tracking form with a complete 160 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 Cathay Pacific 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 160 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 Cathay Pacific Cargo shipment?
Enter your Cathay Pacific Cargo AWB number in the format 160-XXXXXXXX (11 digits total). You can find this number on your shipping documents, cargo receipt, or booking confirmation.
What does the 160 AWB prefix mean?
The 160 prefix is Cathay Pacific Cargo's unique IATA airline code. All Cathay Pacific Cargo air waybills start with 160, followed by an 8-digit shipment number.
How long does Cathay Pacific Cargo tracking take to update?
Cathay Pacific 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 Cathay Pacific Cargo shipments at once?
Yes. CargoEnter can organize multiple Cathay Pacific 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 160 AWB travel on another airline?
Yes. Prefix 160 identifies Cathay Pacific 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 Cathay Pacific 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 Cathay Pacific Cargo shipment is delivered?
Not necessarily. Arrival can describe an intermediate port or airport. Look for a final delivery, release, or equivalent destination event.
