Tracking Status

ARR — Arrived

Definition

ARR is an IATA tracking status code that indicates a shipment has arrived at its destination airport or cargo facility. This status appears in Freight Status Update (FSU) messages as FSU ARR, providing automated notification that cargo has reached the end of its flight segment. The ARR status confirms physical arrival but precedes other terminal handling events like receipt from flight (RCF) or final delivery to consignees.

Examples

Lufthansa Cargo flight LH8404 arrives in Frankfurt (FRA) carrying AWB 020-45678910, triggering an FSU ARR message to notify freight forwarders that their shipment has landed. Emirates SkyCargo sends an FSU ARR status update for AWB 176-98765432 upon arrival at Dubai International (DXB), confirming the cargo has reached its destination terminal before customs clearance begins.

Frequently asked questions

What happens after an ARR status is issued for air cargo?
After ARR status, the shipment typically receives RCF (Received from Flight) status when physically unloaded from the aircraft, followed by NFD (Notified) when the consignee is contacted, and finally DLV (Delivered) upon release to the recipient.
How long after flight arrival does ARR status typically get transmitted?
FSU ARR messages are usually transmitted within 30-60 minutes of actual aircraft arrival, though timing varies by airline and ground handling agent processing capabilities at different airports.
