Enter your air waybill number in the format 111-XXXXXXX8 where 111 is the AWB prefix for Bahamasair and the final digit is the check digit calculated using mod-7. 3.

What 111-XXXXXXXX means
The AWB prefix 111 identifies Bahamasair as the issuing carrier and ensures the air waybill is routed correctly through their cargo system. The seven-digit serial number following the prefix is the unique shipment identifier assigned sequentially by Bahamasair. The final digit is a check digit calculated by dividing the seven-digit serial number by 7 and using the remainder - for example, if the serial is 1234567, dividing by 7 gives a remainder of 4, making the complete AWB number 111-12345674.

Bahamasair transports live animals under the IATA Live Animals Regulations (LAR), which govern container, ventilation, and species-specific handling requirements for livestock, day-old chicks, zoo animals, household pets, and laboratory animals.
