What is an Airway bill?

An Airway Bill (AWB) is a document used in air cargo that acts as:

A receipt for the goods shipped.
A contract between the shipper and the airline.
A tracking and customs document.
It includes details like shipper/consignee names, flight route, cargo weight, and charges. It is non-negotiable and usually issued by the airline or freight forwarder.There are two types:

MAWB: From airline to forwarder.
HAWB: From forwarder to shipper.
