How to track Tunisair shipments
1. Go to third-party tracking platforms like Shipsgo.com or TrackThisPackage.com as Tunisair does not appear to have its own public tracking portal. 2. Enter your AWB prefix number in the format 199-XXXXXXX where the first three digits (199) are Tunisair's prefix and the remaining digits include the serial number plus a check digit calculated as mod-7 (example: 199-1234567). 3. The system will display shipment status updates including departure, arrival, and delivery information. 4. Alternatively, contact Tunisair cargo customer service at (00216 71) 754 000 for status updates.
What 199-XXXXXXXX means
The 199 prefix identifies Tunisair as the issuing carrier on the air waybill, indicating that Tunisair has primary responsibility for the shipment regardless of which airlines actually transport it. The following 7 digits represent the unique serial number assigned to your specific shipment. The final digit is a check digit calculated using the mod-7 method (the 7-digit serial number divided by 7, with only the remainder used). This system ensures proper routing and allows all handling parties to identify Tunisair as the accountable carrier for the shipment.
