IATA Airline Designators

From open-encyclopedia.com - the free encyclopedia.

IATA Airline Designators are two-letter codes assigned by the International Air Transport Association (IATA) to the world's airlines. These codes form the first two letters of a flight code. Since 1987 the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) has been issuing three-letter codes, which are due to be adopted by IATA.
