Understanding Airline Codes
Airline codes are crucial for identifying airlines in various operational and commercial contexts, such as ticketing, baggage handling, and air traffic control. There are primarily two types of codes commonly used:
- IATA Airline Designator (2-letter code): Assigned by the International Air Transport Association (IATA), these two-character codes (e.g., OY, AA, BA) are widely used for public-facing operations, flight numbers, and reservation systems.
- ICAO Airline Designator (3-letter code): Assigned by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), these three-letter codes (e.g., OAE, AAL, BAW) are primarily used for air traffic control, flight planning, and operational communications.
For Omni Air International, both its IATA and ICAO codes are clearly defined:
| Code Type | Code |
|---|---|
| IATA Airline Designator | OY |
| ICAO Airline Designator | OAE |
