Track American Airlines Air Waybill (001)
AWB prefix 001 is filled in — just type the 8-digit serial.
American Airlines air waybills use IATA carrier prefix 001. The prefix is already filled in on this page, so you only need the 8-digit serial number — the part after the dash on your airway bill. Enter it below and we open the official American Airlines cargo tracking page in a new tab. We never store your AWB.

FAQ
- How do I track a American Airlines air waybill?
- The prefix 001 is already filled in. Type the 8-digit serial (the part after the dash on your airway bill) and click Track. We combine them into the full AWB and open American Airlines's official tracker.
- What does a American Airlines AWB number look like?
- A standard American Airlines air waybill is 11 digits: the carrier prefix 001 followed by an 8-digit serial, usually written 001-12345678. You'll find it on the paper airway bill, your forwarder's booking confirmation, or the carrier's receipt.
- My American Airlines shipment shows no results — what should I do?
- Tracking data can take a few hours to appear after the shipment is accepted. Double-check that the serial is exactly 8 digits and that the prefix is 001. If it still fails after 24 hours, contact your freight forwarder or American Airlines directly.
- Is this tracking tool free?
- Yes — airwaybilltracker.com is completely free. We don't store your AWB; clicking Track opens American Airlines's own tracking page with your number pre-filled.
