What 088-XXXXXXXX means
The 088 AWB prefix identifies Starlux Airlines (IATA code JX) as the carrier responsible for handling your shipment. The following 7-digit serial number is unique to your specific shipment, while the final digit is a check digit calculated by dividing the serial number by 7 and using only the remainder (mod-7). This prefix system ensures proper routing through the global air cargo network, directing your shipment to Starlux Airlines' handling facilities and systems.
