How to track Arkia Israeli Airlines shipments
1. Go to one of the available tracking portals as Arkia does not appear to have its own direct online tracking system. 2. Enter your AWB number in the format 238-XXXXXXXX where the 7-digit serial is your unique shipment number followed by a mod-7 check digit (example: 238-12345675). 3. You will see real-time status updates including current location, estimated arrival time, and delivery information. 4. For assistance, call Arkia customer service at +972-3-6909698 or email [email protected].
What 238-XXXXXXXX means
The 238 prefix identifies Arkia Israeli Airlines as the issuing carrier and routing authority for your shipment. The 7-digit serial number is unique to your specific shipment and serves as the primary identifier. The final digit is a check digit calculated using mod-7: divide the 7-digit serial by 7 and use the remainder as the check digit (for example, serial 1234567 ÷ 7 = 176381 remainder 0, so the check digit is 0). When other airlines handle connecting segments, they reference the 238 prefix to route the shipment correctly back to Arkia's network.
