LOT Polish Airlines Cargo Tracking

LOT Cargo, the freight division of LOT Polish Airlines established in 1929, operates as Central and Eastern Europe's leading cargo carrier with Warsaw, Poland as its base. LOT Cargo offers direct, wide-body long haul capacity from Central and Eastern Europe to important hub airports in the United States, Canada, China, India, Japan and South Korea, alongside sizable intra-European connectivity. LOT is thus joining an elite group of carriers as Europe's second and the world's sixth airline to have been awarded all four CEIV certifications by the International Air Transport Association (IATA) including pharma, fresh produce, lithium batteries, and live animals in 2025.

1. Go to https://cargo-tracking.lot.com/ or visit the LOT Cargo tracking portal through the official LOT website. 2. Enter your AWB prefix number in the format 080-XXXXXXXX where the last digit is a check digit calculated as mod-7 (example: 080-12345675). 3. You will see real-time updates on your shipment's status including departure, arrival, and current location information. 4. If tracking is not working online or your status has not updated after 24 hours, contact LOT Cargo customer service at +48 22 606 7777 (EU/PL) or +1 773 686 0970 (US/CA).

The AWB prefix 080 identifies LOT Polish Airlines as the carrier responsible for the shipment, ensuring proper routing and handling through the airline's network. The 7-digit serial number following the prefix is the unique shipment identifier assigned by LOT's cargo system. The final digit is a check digit calculated using modulo-7: divide the 7-digit serial number by 7 and use only the remainder (0-6) as the check digit, which helps validate the air waybill number and prevent errors during data entry.

LOT Polish Airlines holds IATA CEIV Pharma and CEIV Fresh certifications for handling temperature-sensitive pharmaceuticals and perishables. 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.

LOT Polish Airlines 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. The carrier is additionally IATA CEIV Live Animals certified, meaning its handling chain has passed the IATA audit for end-to-end live-animal procedures. Bookings require species-specific documentation and approved containers; book through the cargo team with at least 48 hours notice.
