How to track Air Algerie shipments
1. Go to a third-party tracking service like Shipsgo.com or similar platforms since Air Algérie Cargo's official website (airalgeriecargo.dz) does not provide direct tracking functionality. 2. Enter your AWB prefix number in the format 124-XXXXXXX where 124 is Air Algérie's prefix and the last digit is a check digit calculated using mod-7 (example: 124-1234567). 3. You will see status updates from booked stage through delivery, including current location and estimated delivery times. 4. Alternatively, contact [email protected] for shipment arrival information, available 7 days a week from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. GMT.
What 124-XXXXXXXX means
The AWB prefix 124 identifies Air Algérie as the issuing carrier, meaning they are responsible for the shipment and its routing within their network or through interline partners. The 7-digit serial number uniquely identifies your specific cargo shipment, while the final digit is a check digit calculated as the remainder when the serial number is divided by 7 (mod-7 calculation). When other carriers or freight forwarders handle Air Algérie cargo, they reference this 124 prefix to route the shipment correctly through Air Algérie's systems and partnerships.
Frequently asked questions
