An Air Waybill (AWB) is a non-negotiable shipping document issued by an airline or freight forwarder that serves as a receipt and contract for the transportation of goods by air.
When a clothing manufacturer ships urgent apparel orders from Los Angeles to Tokyo, the freight forwarder issues an Air Waybill listing the shipment details, routing, and carrier obligations for the international flight.

An AWB includes shipper and consignee details, description of goods, declared value, flight routing, airport codes, handling instructions, and carrier charges.
No, unlike a Bill of Lading used in ocean freight, an AWB is non-negotiable and does not represent ownership of goods — it simply acknowledges receipt and terms of shipment.
The AWB is typically issued by the airline carrying the goods or by a freight forwarder authorized to handle air cargo shipments.
