About

The IOSA accredited airline specializes in the provision of air transport services for global express integrators and online retailers including FedEx, DHL, UPS, and Amazon.

How to track Air Contractors shipments
1. Go to a third-party tracking service like crayonconnect.com or track-trace.com as ASL Airlines Ireland operates primarily for integrators and does not provide public tracking. 2. Enter your AWB number in the format 912-XXXXXXXX where the last digit is a check digit calculated as mod-7 (example: 912-12345675). 3. You will see status updates including departure, in-transit, and delivery confirmation. 4. For inquiries, contact your freight forwarder or the integrator (FedEx, DHL, Amazon) handling your shipment.
What 912-XXXXXXXX means
The AWB prefix 912 identifies ASL Airlines Ireland (AG) as the issuing carrier for routing and billing purposes. The 7-digit serial number is the unique shipment identifier assigned by the carrier. The final digit is a check digit calculated using the mod-7 method: divide the serial number by 7 and use the remainder (0-6) as the check digit. This system ensures the air waybill can be properly validated and routed through the global air cargo network.
