Delta Air Lines Cargo Tracking

Delta Cargo, the dedicated air freight division of Delta Air Lines, was officially established in 1946 when Delta entered the cargo business. Headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, and operating a fleet of 987 mainline aircraft, Delta Cargo provides comprehensive cargo services across a vast global network. In 2017, Delta became the first U.S. global passenger carrier to receive IATA's CEIV Pharma certification, demonstrating its leadership in pharmaceutical logistics.

1. Go to https://www.deltacargo.com/Cargo/trackShipment where you can track your Delta Cargo shipment. 2. Enter your AWB prefix number in the format 006-XXXXXXXX where the last digit is a check digit calculated using mod-7 (example: 006-12345675). 3. View real-time tracking updates showing booking confirmation, cargo received, cargo manifested, plane departed, plane arrived, and cargo delivered milestones. 4. If tracking shows no updates after 24 hours, contact Delta Cargo customer service at 800-352-2746 for assistance.

The AWB prefix 006 identifies Delta Air Lines as the carrier handling your shipment and determines which airline's tracking system and network will process the cargo. The 7-digit serial number is the unique shipment identifier assigned by Delta Cargo, while the final digit is a check digit calculated using the mod-7 method: the 7-digit serial number is divided by 7, and the remainder becomes the check digit (for example, if the serial is 1234567, then 1234567 ÷ 7 = 176366 remainder 5, so the full air waybill number becomes 006-12345675).

Delta Air Lines holds IATA CEIV Pharma certification for handling temperature-controlled pharmaceutical shipments. CEIV is the IATA-administered audit standard that validates a carrier's end-to-end cold-chain procedures, staff training, and facilities against pharma-grade requirements.
