Gulf Air Cargo Tracking

Falcon Cargo is the freight division of Gulf Air, the national carrier of the Kingdom of Bahrain established in 1950. The cargo division operates from its primary hub at Bahrain International Airport, serving air freight markets across the Gulf, Middle East, Europe, Indian Subcontinent and Far East regions. With over 60 years' experience in flying cargo throughout the region, Gulf Air provides 24-hour coverage for all transit cargo at its Bahrain hub.

1. Go to https://ebooking.champ.aero/webtracking/gf/tracking.asp (Gulf Air's official cargo tracking system). 2. Enter your AWB prefix number in the format 072-XXXXXXXX where the last digit is a check digit calculated as the 7-digit serial number mod-7 (example: 072-12345675). 3. You will see real-time status updates including departure, transit, arrival, and customs clearance milestones. 4. If tracking information is not updated after 24 hours, contact the cargo customer service helpdesk at [email protected] or call (+973) 1733 8216.

The 072 AWB prefix uniquely identifies Gulf Air Cargo (Falcon Cargo) as the issuing carrier and ensures proper routing to their network. The 7-digit serial number following 072 is the unique shipment identifier assigned by Gulf Air. The final digit is a check digit calculated using mod-7: divide the 7-digit serial by 7, and the remainder becomes the check digit (for example, serial 1234567 ÷ 7 = remainder 5, making the complete AWB 072-12345675). When freight forwarders or other carriers handle Gulf Air cargo, the 072 prefix tells the system which airline's procedures and network apply to that specific shipment.

Gulf Air 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.

Gulf Air Pharma provides dedicated pharmaceutical shipment handling with priority processing, coordinated shipment management with multiple checkpoints, and sophisticated cool rooms maintained at specific temperatures at the Bahrain hub. The carrier provides special handling for perishables including fresh meat, seafood, fruits, vegetables and flowers through freezer and cool room facilities.
