Airway bill is referred to as AWB. When a specific consignment is transported via a courier firm, typically by air, an airway bill serves as the bill of lading. The logistics provider or air carrier that is picking up your package to deliver it to the customer issues an AWB. AWB  also acts as proof that the transporter actually received the items since it's a legal agreement enforceable by law. An AWB can be used to calculate several characteristics of a shipment, including the status of delivery, the present location of the shipment, bookings, etc. It should also include the shipper's name and address, the consignee's name and address, the destination airport, and value of contents.
