What 787-XXXXXXXX means

The AWB prefix 787 identifies Druk Air as the issuing carrier for all shipments under this number. An Airline Prefix Code is a 3-digit code that identifies an airline and stands at the beginning of each air waybill number, with an air waybill number having 11 digits and the first 3 digits being the AWB prefix. The 7-digit serial number following the prefix uniquely identifies your specific shipment, and the final digit is a check digit calculated using the mod-7 formula (serial number divided by 7, remainder only). This prefix ensures your cargo is routed through Druk Air's network and handled according to their specific procedures and schedules.
