About

Ariana Afghan Airlines, established in 1955, is the flag carrier and largest airline of Afghanistan. The airline specializes in air cargo services for perishables, pharmaceuticals, and general freight across the Middle East, Asia, and Europe. A major development in 2025 confirmed a long-awaited charter cargo aircraft has been officially contracted to accelerate and secure the movement of both export and import goods.

How to track Ariana Afghan Airlines shipments

1. Use third-party tracking platforms like GoComet or E-tracking as Ariana Afghan Airlines does not provide a dedicated public cargo tracking website. 2. Enter your AWB prefix number in the format 255-XXXXXXXX where the last digit is a check digit (example: 255-12345675). 3. You will see real-time tracking updates with shipment status, location, and estimated arrival time. 4. Alternatively, contact cargo customer service at +93 (0) 752-050489 or email [email protected] for tracking assistance.

What 255-XXXXXXXX means

The 255 prefix identifies Ariana Afghan Airlines and stands at the beginning of each air waybill number, with an air waybill number having 11 digits and the first 3 digits being the AWB prefix. The 7-digit serial is the unique shipment number assigned to your specific cargo. The final digit is a check digit calculated as the serial number divided by 7, remainder only (mod-7) - for example, serial number 1234567 ÷ 7 = 176,366 remainder 5, so the final AWB would be 255-12345675. This prefix ensures your shipment is routed to the correct carrier and handled by Ariana Afghan Airlines throughout the transport process.
