About China Airlines Cargo tracking
China Airlines Cargo is the cargo operation behind a major commercial air carrier headquartered in TW. Like most large airlines, it issues Master Air Waybills under its IATA prefix 297, which is what TrackJet matches when you paste an 11-digit number into the search box on this page.
Most China Airlines Cargo air-cargo bookings are tracked through the carrier's own tracking system, which TrackJet links to directly using your MAWB. Status data typically appears 4 to 6 hours after departure as the shipment moves through the airline's handling network. Earlier than that you may see only the booking confirmation.
If your MAWB does not appear in China Airlines Cargo's tracking system at all, it is usually because the airline assigns the AWB stock to a forwarder before flight, and the forwarder has not yet notified the carrier. In that case the right next step is to contact your forwarder rather than the airline directly.
Frequently asked questions about China Airlines Cargo
- China Airlines Cargo issues Master Air Waybills under prefix 297. Any 11-digit MAWB starting with 297- belongs to this carrier (or a partner carrier flying on its AWB stock).
- The MAWB is printed on the air waybill document your forwarder sends you, usually at the top right. It's an 11-digit number formatted as 297-XXXXXXXX. If you only have a tracking confirmation email, the number will be in the body or attachment.
- Most carriers, China Airlines Cargo included, refresh tracking 4 to 6 hours after the flight departs. Some milestones (e.g. acceptance, customs clearance) update sooner. If nothing has appeared after 24 hours, contact your forwarder before assuming a problem.
- This usually means China Airlines Cargo hasn't received the booking from the forwarder yet, or the AWB was issued under a different airline's prefix as part of a code-share / interline arrangement. Re-check the prefix on the AWB document and contact your forwarder.
- No. The MAWB is the unique identifier the airline uses internally. Without it, China Airlines Cargo's tracking system has nothing to look up. If you've lost the number, your forwarder can re-issue it from their booking record.
