IATA airline designator

IATA airline designators, sometimes called IATA reservation codes, are two-character codes assigned by the International Air Transport Association (IATA) to the world's airlines in accordance with the provisions of IATA Resolution 762. An airline provides air transport services for Passengers or Freight, generally with a recognized operating certificate or license They form the first two characters of the flight number.

Designators are used to identify an airline for commercial purposes, including reservations, timetables, tickets, tariffs, air waybills and in airline interline telecommunications. An airline ticket generally was a document created by an Airline or a Travel agent to confirm that an individual has purchased a seat on an airplane For other uses of this word see Tariff (disambiguation. A tariff is a tax imposed on goods when they are moved across a political boundary A waybill is a document issued by a carrier giving details and instructions relating to the Shipment of a Consignment of goods. The airline teletype system uses Teleprinters which are electro-mechanical typewriters that can communicate typed messages from point to point through simple electric Communications There are three types of designator: unique, numeric/alpha and controlled duplicate.

Since 1987 the (ICAO) has been issuing three-letter codes, which are due to be adopted by IATA.

IATA maintains two policies to deal with the limited number of available codes:

  1. after an airline is delisted, the code becomes available for reuse after six months;
  2. IATA issues "controlled duplicates".

Controlled duplicates are issued to regional airlines whose destinations are not likely to overlap, in such a way that the same code would be shared by two different airlines. The controlled duplicate is denoted here with an asterisk (*) following the code and in IATA literature as well.

IATA also issues an accounting or prefix code. This number is used on tickets as the first three characters of the ticket number.

ICAO airline designator

The ICAO airline designator is a code assigned by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) to aircraft operating agencies, aeronautical authorities and services. The International Civil Aviation Organization ( ICAO) an agency of the United Nations, codifies the principles and techniques of international air navigation The codes are unique by airline which is not true for the IATA airline designator codes. This is a list of Airline codes. The table lists the IATA airline designators the ICAO airline designators and the airline call signs (telephony designator

Each aircraft operating agency, aeronautical authority and services related to international aviation is allocated both a three-letter designator and a telephony designator. The designators are listed in ICAO Document 8585: Designators for Aircraft Operating Agencies, Aeronautical Authorities and Services.

An example is:

Certain combinations of letters are not allocated to avoid confusion with other systems (for example SOS). Qantas Airways Limited (ˈkwɔntəs ( is the National airline of Australia. Other designators particularly those starting with Y and Z are reserved for government organizations.

Designator YYY is used for operators that do not have a code allocated.

Call signs (Flight identification or flight ID)

See also: List of airline call signs

Most airlines employ a distinctive and internationally recognized call sign that is normally spoken during airband radio transmissions. In Broadcasting and Radio communications a call sign (also known as a callsign or call letters, or abbreviated as a call, or otherwise The airband or air band is the band of frequencies used for radio communication in Aviation. As by ICAO Annex 10 chapter 5. 2. 1. 7. 2. 1 a call sign shall be one of the following types:

Type a - the characters corresponding to the registration marking of the aircraft

Type b - the telephony designator of the aircraft operating agency, followed by the last four characters of the registration marking of the aircraft

Type c - the telephony designator of the aircraft operating agency, followed by the flight identification

The one most widely used within commercial aviation is type c. It is very often mistaken that only the telephony designator would be the call sign (for example "speedbird" for British Airways flights). The flight identification is very often the same as the flight number, though this is not always the case. In case of call sign confusion a different flight identification can be chosen, the flight number will remain the same. Call sign confusion happens when two or more flights with similar flight numbers fly close to each other, i. e. KL645 and KL649 or BA466 and BA646.

The flight number is normally published in their public timetable and appears on the arrivals and departure screens in the airport terminals served by that particular flight. In cases of emergency, the airline name and flight number, rather than the call sign, are normally mentioned by the main news media.

Some call signs are less obviously associated with a particular airline than others. This might be for historic reasons, or possibly to avoid confusion with a call sign used by an established airline.

Not all of these operators of aircraft are civilian and some only operate ad hoc chartered flights rather than scheduled flights; some operate both types of flights. Some cargo airlines specialize in freight transport, an emphasis that may be reflected in the company's name. Cargo airlines (or airfreight carriers, and derivatives of these names are Airlines dedicated to the Transport of Cargo. Transport or transportation is the movement of people and goods from one place to another

Companies' names will change over time, normally due to bankruptcies or mergers occurring. Country names can also change over time and new call signs may be agreed in substitution for traditional ones. The country shown alongside an airline's call sign is that wherein most of its aircraft are believed to be registered, which may not always be the same as the country in which the firm is officially incorporated or registered. There are many other airlines in business whose radio call signs are more obviously derived from the trading name. Radio is the transmission of signals by Modulation of electromagnetic waves with frequencies below those of visible Light.

The callsign should normally resemble the operators name or function and not be confused with callsigns used by other operators. The callsign should be easily and phonetically pronounceable in at least English, French, Spanish or Russian.
