Does Air AMS require that the 11-character identifier for a simple or master use a 3-digit air waybill prefix assigned by the International Air Transportation Association (IATA)?

Does Air AMS require that the 11-character identifier for a simple or master use a 3-digit air waybill prefix assigned by the International Air Transportation Association (IATA)?

Air AMS has been modified to accept and process air waybill records that do not utilize a 3-digit air waybill prefix assigned by IATA.

If an air carrier does not have an assigned IATA air waybill prefix, it may substitute its 3-character International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) code or its CBP-assigned carrier code for the air waybill prefix number.  For further information regarding Air AMS certification testing for non-IATA carriers, please contact your assigned client representative.
