1. Go to https://kuwaitairways.com/en/cargo/tracking. 2. Enter your AWB prefix '229' in the Prefix field and your 8-digit air waybill number in the AWB number field (example: 229-12345675 where the last digit is a check digit calculated as mod-7). 3. Click Submit to retrieve real-time cargo status information including departure, arrival, and customs clearance updates. 4. For additional assistance, contact Kuwait Airways cargo customer service at +965 22200171.

The 229 prefix identifies Kuwait Airways as the issuing carrier, meaning this airline is responsible for the shipment's transport and tracking throughout its journey. The following 7-digit serial number is the unique shipment identifier assigned by Kuwait Airways, while the final digit is a check digit calculated as the serial number divided by 7, remainder only (mod-7) - for example, if the serial is 1234567, divide by 7 to get remainder 4, making the complete AWB 229-12345674.

Kuwait Airways 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.

Kuwait Airways offers pharma handling with specialized air cargo services for temperature sensitive shipments. The carrier provides large cold storages and cold chain management for perishables including seafood and flowers, with professional teams experienced in temperature-sensitive cargo handling.
