dear mitra,

in general, there is no difference. just how one write the words. however, Airway Bill is not the right word to mean that some thing has been transported by air. Air Waybill is the right one. “Waybill" means any shipping document, receipt, manifest, label, electronic entry or similar item authorized by carrier for use in the transport system. UCP 600 has mentioned **** waybill in every case. neverthess, we see "airway bill" in some cases even though the "bill" is different from waybill and is governed by different law
