Air India Cargo Tracking. Free & Online.

Air India Cargo carries freight in the holds of Air India flights, airport to airport, on an air waybill (AWB) that starts with the airline prefix 098 followed by an 8-digit serial. Its tracking is a list of terminal milestones, and every row names the airport by its three-letter code (BOM, DEL, BLR, CCU, LKO), the number of pieces and the weight, and the flight where one applies, written as AI-2491. A straightforward domestic shipment reads Booked, Freight on hand, Executed, Accepted, Built up, Manifested and Departed at the origin airport, then Arrived, Broken down, Consignee notified and Delivered at the destination. Times are local to the airport that recorded the scan. Delivered here means the cargo was handed over at the airport cargo terminal, not at a street address.

Air India Cargo tracking begins with the reference printed on the shipment label, booking receipt, or dispatch message. The registered format guidance for this integration is 098 followed by an 8-digit serial, with or without a dash; a three-letter station code between the two (098BOM…) or the serial on its own also works; 098-12345678 is an illustrative example rather than an active parcel. Enter the reference exactly as issued, including letters, leading zeroes, spaces, or punctuation when they form part of the number.

TrackParcel sends the lookup to the public tracking transport associated with Air India Cargo and normalises the response into a readable timeline. When the carrier supplies them, the result can include the current shipment state, event timestamps, processing locations, and carrier remarks. The carrier creates and controls those scans; TrackParcel cannot add a missing event or promise when the next scan will appear. A recent successful response may be returned from a short-lived cache to reduce repeat requests.

Air India Cargo uses its own shipment references and scan process. The safest source is the dispatch confirmation, label, or receipt issued for that shipment. Similar-looking numeric references can belong to other couriers, so selecting Air India Cargo explicitly avoids an ambiguous format match.

If Air India Cargo returns no shipment, first compare the reference with the original message and remove accidental surrounding spaces. A newly created label may not be searchable until the first physical scan. Delays between events can also occur while a shipment moves between facilities, crosses a border, clears customs, or waits for a partner-carrier handoff. Try again later, then use the official Air India Cargo tracking page linked below when the shipment is urgent or the result remains unavailable.
