Types of Airway Bills
House Air Waybill (HAWB)
If a forwarder takes on the function of a carrier and based on which, an air waybill is issued in its own name, this air waybill is called Forwarder Bill of Lading or House Air Waybill.
There are many variations of house of air waybills present in the market. But note that a forwarder is normally more of an intermediary than a carrier.
Master Air waybill (MAWB)
A Master Air Waybill is the regular airline bill of lading issued by the originating airline when more than one airline is involved with a shipment, or when a freight forwarder issues a House Air Waybill.
MAWB is used for individual consignments. As for the airlines, there is no difference in MAWB whether the consignment is single shipment directly from the shipper or forwarder, or a consolidated shipment from consolidators.
