Aerounion Cargo Tracking

Aerounion, established in 1999, is a Mexican cargo airline that operates as Avianca Cargo México since June 2025 rebranding, headquartered at Mexico City International Airport. The carrier operates cargo services within and between Mexico and the United States, with main operations in Miami and Los Angeles. Avianca Cargo became the only airline in the Americas to obtain all four IATA CEIV certifications (Pharma, Fresh, Live Animals, and Lithium Batteries) in less than two years.

1. Go to third-party tracking sites such as https://www.aerounion.com.mx/eng/tracking/ or use tracking platforms like Shipsgo or Cargoenter that support Aerounion tracking. 2. Enter your AWB number in the format 873-XXXXXXXX where the first three digits (873) identify Aerounion and the last digit is a check digit calculated using mod-7 (example: 873-12345675). 3. The tracking system will display your shipment status including booked, picked up, in transit, cleared customs, and out for delivery. 4. For additional support, contact Aerounion at +52 (55) 4777-7710.

The AWB prefix 873 identifies Aerounion as the issuing carrier, followed by eight digits where the first seven represent the unique serial number and the final digit is a check digit. The check digit is calculated as the remainder when the 7-digit serial number is divided by 7 (mod-7 calculation). When a freight forwarder or shipper sees the 873 prefix, they know this air waybill was issued by Aerounion and the shipment will be handled through their network between Mexico and the United States.

Aerounion holds IATA CEIV Pharma and CEIV Fresh certifications for handling temperature-sensitive pharmaceuticals and perishables. CEIV is the IATA-administered audit standard that validates a carrier's end-to-end cold-chain procedures, staff training, and facilities against pharma-grade requirements.

Aerounion transports live animals under the IATA Live Animals Regulations (LAR), which govern container, ventilation, and species-specific handling requirements for livestock, day-old chicks, zoo animals, household pets, and laboratory animals. The carrier is additionally IATA CEIV Live Animals certified, meaning its handling chain has passed the IATA audit for end-to-end live-animal procedures. Bookings require species-specific documentation and approved containers; book through the cargo team with at least 48 hours notice.

Avianca Cargo specializes in handling temperature-sensitive, oversized, perishable, and high-value cargo with CEIV certifications for Pharma, Fresh, Live Animals, and Lithium Batteries. Their A330 P2F aircraft can accommodate 60+ tons per takeoff and fits oversized items on its main deck as well as temperature critical products due to an integrated cooling system.

The carrier expects to reduce fuel consumption by about 30% with the A330 fleet upgrade, impacting positively their environmental footprint. The company aims to associate with CHOOSE for emission tracking and offsetting, and is working to adopt environmentally friendly technology to reduce carbon dioxide emissions.
