Air Astana Cargo Tracking

Air Astana, Kazakhstan's national carrier established in 2002, operates scheduled passenger and cargo services with its main hub at Almaty International Airport and secondary hubs at Astana and Atyrau. The airline launched a dedicated cargo division in 2020 using three converted Boeing 767-300 aircraft to meet increased regional freight demand. Air Astana handles dangerous goods of all classes requiring prior approval and offers specialized services for oversized cargo exceeding 120x80x100 cm or 100kg.

1. Go to https://airastana.com/global-en/information/cargo-services and select the Tracking tab, then from the Carrier menu, select KC. 2. Enter your 8-digit AWB number in the format 465-XXXXXXXX where the 465 prefix is not required, and the last digit is a mod-7 check digit (example: 465-12345675). 3. Click Submit to view shipment status updates and location information. 4. For assistance, contact [email protected] or +7 (702) 702 01 59.

The AWB prefix 465 identifies Air Astana as the issuing carrier and ensures the shipment is handled within their cargo network. The 7-digit serial number (e.g., 1234567) is the unique shipment identifier assigned by Air Astana. The final digit is a check digit calculated using mod-7 arithmetic: divide the 7-digit serial by 7 and use the remainder (e.g., 1234567 ÷ 7 = 176,366 remainder 5, so the full AWB becomes 465-12345675). This prefix routing ensures the shipment moves through Air Astana's cargo system from origin to destination.

Air Astana 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. Bookings require species-specific documentation and approved containers; book through the cargo team with at least 48 hours notice.

Air Astana specializes in handling general cargo, perishables, oversized and overweight shipments, and valuable goods with dedicated facilities and expertise for diverse freight requirements. Oversized cargo exceeding 120x80x100 cm or 100kg requires prior airline approval.
