The LD-26 is a lower-deck container with the IATA code AAF, rated Type 5. The same unit also appears under DAF, MAF, RAF, which are the prefixes different airlines assign to it.
Around 13.3 m³ of usable volume, up to 6,033 kg gross — the unit and its cargo together. The unit itself weighs 250 kg empty, so the payload is the difference between the two.
It is loaded on 747, 777, 787, DC-10, MD-11. A type is certified per aircraft and sometimes per door, so a unit that fits one freighter will not always fit another.
Track the shipment rather than the unit: the air waybill number is what the airline reports against. Enter it in the air tracking app, or make the same lookup one REST call with the API reference.
