Enter your AWB number in the format 760-XXXXXXXX where the 7-digit serial number is unique to your shipment and the final digit is a mod-7 check digit calculated from the serial number. 3. You will see status updates showing current location, flight details, and estimated delivery times. 4. Alternatively, contact Air Austral Cargo directly at +262 262 48 82 68 or [email protected] for shipment status updates.

What 760-XXXXXXXX means

The 760 prefix identifies Air Austral and tells you which carrier is handling your shipment, ensuring it routes through their network in the Indian Ocean and to France. Air Austral uses the AWB format (UU 760) where the 7-digit serial number following the prefix is your unique shipment identifier. The final digit is a check digit calculated using mod-7: divide the serial number by 7, and the remainder is your check digit (for example, serial 1234567 ÷ 7 = remainder 4, so the AWB would be 760-12345674).
