Jin Air Cargo Cargo Tracking
About
Jin Air Cargo, established in November 2013 as the cargo division of Jin Air, is South Korea's first low-cost carrier with widebody aircraft operating cargo services. The carrier utilizes Boeing 777-200ER aircraft for cargo flights on routes including Incheon-Taipei, focusing on transporting items such as fabric, clothing and electrical parts. In 2020, Jin Air modified one Boeing 777-200ER passenger aircraft for dedicated cargo-only operations to defend earnings amid stagnant passenger demand.
How to track Jin Air Cargo shipments
1. Go to a third-party tracking service like Shipsgo or E-tracking as Jin Air Cargo does not appear to have a direct tracking portal on their official website. 2. Enter your AWB number in the format 718-XXXXXXXX where 718 is the Jin Air Cargo prefix. 3. The system will display real-time updates on your shipment's location, flight details, and delivery status. 4. For additional assistance, contact Jin Air customer service at 82-2-6099-1200.
What 718-XXXXXXXX means
The 718 prefix identifies Jin Air Cargo as the issuing carrier for the air waybill. The 7-digit serial number following the prefix is the unique shipment identifier assigned to your specific cargo. The final digit is a check digit calculated using the mod-7 method, where the serial number is divided by 7 and the remainder becomes the check digit. When your shipment is processed through airports and customs, the 718 prefix ensures it is routed through Jin Air Cargo's handling network and systems.
