Centurion Air Cargo Cargo Tracking
About
Centurion Air Cargo, operating as Centurion Cargo, was an American cargo airline based in Miami-Dade County, Florida that ceased operations in June 2018 after surrendering its operating certificate to the Federal Aviation Administration. The airline was established as Challenge Air Cargo in 1985 as a subsidiary of Challenge Air Transport, becoming Centurion Air Cargo in 2001 following UPS's takeover of the scheduled business. Prior to closure, it operated the Centurion Cargo Center at Miami International Airport, a 1,400,000 square feet facility with a 550,000 square feet warehouse including cold and dry storage capabilities.
How to track Centurion Air Cargo shipments
Since Centurion Air Cargo ceased operations in June 2018, active cargo tracking is no longer available. 1. The carrier previously used the tracking website https://www.centurioncargo.com/en/index.php which is no longer operational. 2. AWB numbers used the format 307-XXXXXXXX where 307 was the airline prefix. 3. For historical shipments, contact your freight forwarder or the last known handling agent. 4. Legacy shipments may still be tracked through third-party logistics providers who handled the final delivery.
What 307-XXXXXXXX means
The AWB prefix 307 identified air waybills issued by Centurion Air Cargo, indicating that the shipment was handled by this Miami-based carrier. The 7-digit serial number following the prefix was the unique shipment identifier, followed by a check digit calculated using mod-7 arithmetic (the serial number divided by 7, with only the remainder used). Since Centurion Air Cargo ceased operations in 2018, any AWB with prefix 307 would now be a historical document, and routing would have been transferred to alternative carriers or freight forwarders.
Centurion Air Cargo live animal transport
Centurion Air Cargo 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. Bookings require species-specific documentation and approved containers; book through the cargo team with at least 48 hours notice.
Centurion Air Cargo specialized cargo handling
Centurion Air Cargo specialized in live animals transport and perishables through their "Cold Chain Centurion air cargo" unit, which provided a completely refrigerated cold chain for temperature-sensitive products. Their Miami facility included both cold and dry storage capabilities within a 550,000 square feet warehouse.
