What 781-XXXXXXXX means
The AWB prefix 781 identifies China Eastern Airlines as the carrier responsible for the shipment. The 7-digit serial number is the unique shipment identifier, followed by a check digit calculated using mod-7 (the remainder when the serial number is divided by 7). For routing purposes, the 781 prefix ensures the shipment is handled through China Eastern's network and subsidiary China Cargo Airlines for dedicated freight services.

China Eastern Airlines 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.
