About

AirBridgeCargo Airlines (ABC) was launched in 2004 as a division of Volga-Dnepr Group to perform internationally scheduled cargo services, connecting major economic hubs in Asia, Europe, and North America via Russian gateways. The carrier was the first airline in Russia and the seventh in the world to be awarded IATA's Center of Excellence for Validators in Pharmaceutical Logistics (CEIV Pharma) certification. It was forced to suspend all operations in March 2022 due to sanctions against Russia, and as of March 2024, no longer operates any aircraft after returning their fleet to lessors.

What 580-XXXXXXXX means

The AWB prefix 580 uniquely identifies AirBridgeCargo Airlines as the issuing carrier in the global air waybill system. The seven-digit serial number following the prefix represents the unique shipment identifier assigned by AirBridgeCargo. The final digit is a check digit calculated using the mod-7 algorithm - the seven-digit serial number is divided by 7, and only the remainder is used as the check digit to verify the AWB number's validity.
