Frequently asked questions
How do I track a Lufthansa Cargo shipment?
Enter your Lufthansa Cargo AWB number in the format 020-XXXXXXXX (11 digits total). You can find this number on your shipping documents, cargo receipt, or booking confirmation.
What does the 020 AWB prefix mean?
The 020 prefix is Lufthansa Cargo's unique IATA airline code. All Lufthansa Cargo air waybills start with 020, followed by an 8-digit shipment number.
How long does Lufthansa Cargo tracking take to update?
Lufthansa 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 Lufthansa Cargo shipments at once?
Yes. CargoEnter can organize multiple Lufthansa 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 020 AWB travel on another airline?
Yes. Prefix 020 identifies Lufthansa 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 Lufthansa 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 Lufthansa Cargo shipment is delivered?
Not necessarily. Arrival can describe an intermediate port or airport. Look for a final delivery, release, or equivalent destination event.
