Kenya Airways Cargo Tracking

Operating from its primary hub at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (NBO), KQ Cargo offers comprehensive air freight services across a vast network of destinations.

1. Go to https://cargores.kenya-airways.com/Tracking/AWB (requires login access). 2. Enter your AWB prefix number in the format 706-XXXXXXX where the last digit is a mod-7 check digit (example: 706-1234567). 3. View your shipment status, current location, and delivery updates as they are updated in real-time. 4. If tracking information is not available after 24 hours, contact Kenya Airways Cargo customer service at the numbers provided on their official website.

The AWB prefix 706 identifies Kenya Airways as the issuing carrier for the air waybill. The following 7 digits represent the unique serial number assigned to your specific shipment. The final digit is a check digit calculated using mod-7 arithmetic - the serial number is divided by 7, and the remainder becomes the check digit. This prefix system ensures proper routing through Kenya Airways' cargo network and identifies which carrier is responsible for handling the shipment throughout its journey.

Kenya Airways 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.
