China Airlines provide a new, efficient way of doing business. It eliminates the need for AWB paper and reduces time of processing freight. We joined IATA's (International Air Transport Association) environmentally friendly e-freight initiative on November 3, 2009, help business and environment thrive together.
In today's electronic world, air cargo still relies heavily on paper documentation for the exchange of information. e-AWB aims to take the paper out of air cargo and to replace it with the exchange of electronic data and messages. e-AWB brings accuracy, confidentiality and efficiency.
Benefit
- Improve productivity by eliminating manual tasks and streamlining processes.
- Reduce processing costs due to the removal of paper AWB and the elimination of the requirements to file paper AWB.
- Improve customer service by speeding up cargo processing.
- Increase quality of information thanks to electronic data that are used from the very beginning to the very end of the air cargo supply chain.

Shipment Types

- Charge Collect cargo and non CI's AWBs(prefix≠297)are not
allowed to processed by e-AWB.
Single Process
China Airlines has implemented the single process from 15 August, 2015, that put CI in control of the decision whether to use a paper or an e-AWB, therefore minimizing the associated liability risk.
Other than above live e-AWB stations, e-AWB would be handled according to IATA e-AWB Single Process.
e.g. China, Indonesia(exclude JKT ), Manila, Thailand (exclude BKK), Vietnam, Myanmar, Cambodia and India..,etc which still require paper AWB according to local Customs rule.
