Air Waybill (AWB)

An Air Waybill (AWB) in parcel shipping is a vital document utilized to outline the transportation of goods via air. It functions as a contractual agreement between the sender, the airline, and the recipient.
Within the Air Waybill, crucial details about the shipment are recorded, including the names and addresses of the sender and receiver, flight particulars, a description of the goods, their weight and dimensions, and any specific instructions. Moreover, it serves as a confirmation of the shipped items and provides a tracking identifier for monitoring the shipment's status throughout its transit.
