Luxair Cargo Tracking
About
LuxairCARGO was established as a cargo handling division that operated Luxair's ramp and warehouse handling operations at Luxembourg's Findel airport before being taken over by Luxcargo Handling in 2023. LuxairCARGO is the leading air freight handling agent at Luxembourg airport, making it the eighth largest air freight platform in Europe. LuxairCARGO caters for all categories of cargo and aircraft and has a capacity of 1,200,000 tons per year, with further possibilities for expansion.
How to track Luxair shipments
1. Luxair does not appear to operate a public cargo tracking portal based on search results. 2. Enter your AWB prefix number in the format 149-XXXXXXX where the last digit is a check digit calculated using mod-7 (example: 149-1234567). 3. Contact your freight forwarder or use third-party tracking services, as Luxair cargo operations appear to be primarily handled through the LuxairCARGO facility rather than through direct airline cargo services. 4. For shipments handled at Luxembourg Airport, contact LuxairCARGO handling services directly.
What 149-XXXXXXXX means
The AWB prefix 149 identifies Luxair Cargo AWB documents and indicates the shipment is associated with Luxair's cargo operations. Luxair Cargo AWB starts with airline prefix '149' followed by eight digits. The seven-digit serial number is the unique shipment identifier, and the final digit is a check digit calculated as the serial number divided by 7, using only the remainder (mod-7). This prefix ensures proper routing and identifies that Luxair or its cargo handling partners are responsible for the shipment processing.
Luxair live animal transport
Luxair 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.
Luxair specialized cargo handling
LuxairCARGO has developed a major distribution hub for high-tech goods, perishables, livestock, pharmaceuticals and consumer products. Valuable cargo is held in secure vaults and dedicated protected storage areas can have additional guards & security measures if requested.
