Tracking your shipment is crucial for peace of mind, especially when dealing with international cargo. Lufthansa Cargo, one of the leading freight companies globally, offers a comprehensive package tracking system that helps you stay updated on your package’s journey.

Whether you are shipping valuable items or eagerly awaiting a personal item, Lufthansa Cargo tracking is essential for knowing the whereabouts of your shipment. Getting real-time updates on your package’s location keeps you informed and helps you plan accordingly.

This guide will walk you through tracking your shipment using the official Lufthansa air cargo tracking system and TrackingMore, a robust third-party tracking platform.

How to Track Lufthansa Cargo

There are diverse ways to track Lufthansa Cargo shipments, each with unique advantages. These methods are as follows.

Via the Lufthansa Cargo Official Website

The official Lufthansa Cargo website allows customers to track their packages using the air waybill (AWB) or house air waybill (HAWB) numbers. The specific steps to follow for each approach are listed below.

• AWB

To use the air waybill number to track your cargo, follow this procedure:

1. Visit the Lufthansa Cargo official website.
2. Click on the three-line menu button at the top right of the screen.
3. In the pop-up menu, hover over “Track” under “eServices” and click “eTracking”.
4. Enter your package’s AWB (Lufthansa Cargo supports up to 10 AWBs) and click “Search”.
5. The website will load the tracking results on a new page.

• HAWB

Lufthansa Cargo also issues house air waybill (HAWB) numbers for goods forwarded by freight forwarders. Such cargo can also be tracked on the official website of Lufthansa Cargo using the HAWB. Follow the same procedure for tracking your package using an AWB number and select the HAWB option on the tracking page.

About Lufthansa Cargo

Lufthansa Cargo’s story begins in 1926 with the founding of Deutsche Lufthansa AG, which transported as much as 258 tons of cargo that year. Official cargo routes would launch in Germany and much of Europe two years later. Lufthansa Cargo AG became a standalone company in 1994.

Since its founding, Lufthansa Cargo has been a pioneer in freight shipping with significant investments in aircraft, equipment, and personnel. The company has also established several partnerships worldwide to deliver goods to customers in more than 300 destinations.
