Combination carrier

Sells bellyhold capacity under its passenger schedule, often alongside dedicated freighters. Broad network reach; available capacity moves with the passenger timetable and is tighter in peak season.

Reading an AWB from this airline

A master air waybill issued by ANA Cargo starts with 205, followed by an 8-digit serial. The last digit of that serial is a check digit: the first seven digits divided by 7, remainder kept. If the remainder does not match, the number is mistyped — and a mistyped AWB is the single most common reason a tracking lookup returns nothing.
