SriLankan Airlines Cargo Tracking

SriLankan Cargo, established as a stand-alone entity under SriLankan Airlines Limited management, moves over 150,000 metric tonnes of cargo per annum through Bandaranaike International Airport as the home base and major cargo hub in the South Asian region. The carrier handles special cargo including livestock, perishables, valuables and dangerous goods across 38 destinations in 25 countries in Europe, the Indian sub-continent, Middle East, Far East and South East Asia. SriLankan Cargo recently placed its capacity on CargoAi's CargoMART online booking portal in 2024.

1. Go to the official SriLankan Cargo website at www.srilankancargo.com or use third-party tracking platforms like the iCargo Portal at srilankancargo.ibsplc.aero. 2. Enter your AWB number in the format 603-XXXXXXXX where the last digit is a check digit calculated as mod-7 (example: 603-12345675). 3. View shipment status updates showing current package location, source, destination, dispatch and delivery dates. 4. If online tracking is not working, contact SriLankan Airlines Cargo Customer Care at +94 1 9733 3259/3263/3276/3286.

The AWB prefix 603 identifies SriLankan Airlines as the issuing carrier, meaning this airline handles the shipment and is responsible for transportation. The 7-digit serial number following 603 is the unique shipment identifier assigned to your cargo. The final digit is a check digit calculated using the mod-7 formula: divide the 7-digit serial number by 7 and use only the remainder (for example, serial 1234567 ÷ 7 = remainder 5, making the full air waybill number 603-12345675). This prefix ensures your shipment is routed correctly through SriLankan Cargo's network.

SriLankan 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. Bookings require species-specific documentation and approved containers; book through the cargo team with at least 48 hours notice.

SriLankan Airlines handles perishables, pharmaceuticals, and general cargo, plus livestock, valuables and dangerous goods with express channels for urgent and courier consignments.
