Biman Bangladesh Airlines Cargo Tracking

Biman Bangladesh Airlines, commonly known as Biman, is the flag carrier of Bangladesh established on 4 January 1972 as the nation's first national airline. With its main hub at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport in Dhaka, the airline provides international passenger and cargo services to multiple destinations and has air service agreements in 42 countries. In September 2023, Biman announced the order of ten Airbus A350 aircraft including two A350F cargo aircraft, marking a significant expansion of its dedicated freight capacity.

1. Go to third-party tracking platforms such as shipsgo.com, e-tracking.net, or trackaircargo.com as Biman does not appear to have an official cargo tracking website. 2. Enter your air waybill (AWB) number in the format 997-XXXXXXXX where the 997 prefix identifies Biman Bangladesh Airlines followed by eight digits. 3. View status updates including current location, flight details, and estimated arrival times. 4. For issues with tracking, contact Biman customer service at +88-02-8901600 or email support for assistance.

The 997 prefix identifies Biman Bangladesh Airlines as the carrier, ensuring the shipment is routed through their network and handled according to their cargo procedures. The 7-digit serial number following the prefix is the unique shipment identifier assigned by Biman. The final digit is a check digit calculated using the mod-7 method: divide the 7-digit serial by 7 and use only the remainder (0-6). For example, with serial 1234567, dividing by 7 gives remainder 0, making the complete AWB prefix 997-12345670.

Biman Bangladesh Airlines accepts dangerous goods shipments in accordance with the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations. Acceptance varies by class, packaging group, and routing — confirm booking eligibility with the cargo team before tendering.
