About Airline Code Reference
IATA and ICAO airline identifiers
Search a carrier code to see the airline name, home country, IATA code, ICAO code, and a short note. The table is useful for boarding passes, booking forms, travel documents, and codeshare references.
Alliance context for quick comparison
Where available, alliance data helps you understand whether a carrier belongs to Star Alliance, oneworld, SkyTeam, or no major alliance. This is reference context only, not a guarantee of miles, lounge access, baggage handling, or ticket rules.
Airline operations can change
Airline names, codes, ownership, alliances, and operating carriers can change through mergers or schedule updates. For live flights, disruptions, rebooking, baggage rules, or legal travel requirements, confirm with the airline, airport, ticket seller, or official authority.
FAQ
Common questions and answers about this topic.
How do I find an airline from its code?
Enter the code in the search box. You can search by IATA code, ICAO code, airline name, country, or alliance. For example, NH or ANA finds All Nippon Airways, while EK or UAE finds Emirates.
What is the difference between IATA and ICAO airline codes?
IATA airline codes contain two characters and commonly appear on tickets, boarding passes, and booking forms. ICAO airline codes contain three letters and are used in flight operations and air traffic control. All Nippon Airways, for example, uses NH for IATA and ANA for ICAO.
Which airlines use NH, ANA, EK, and UAE?
NH is the IATA code and ANA is the ICAO code for All Nippon Airways. EK is the IATA code and UAE is the ICAO code for Emirates. One airline can therefore appear under two different identifiers.
Is an airline code the same as an airport code?
No. An IATA airline code identifies the carrier and has two characters, such as BR for EVA Air. An IATA airport code identifies a location and has three letters, such as TPE for Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport. Check which field your ticket or form is asking for.
Which airlines are included in this lookup?
The table covers 122 major passenger and cargo airlines from around the world, with IATA code, ICAO code, country or region, alliance, and a short note. It is a curated travel reference rather than a complete registry of every active or historical airline.
Does this show live flights or current codeshare operators?
No. This is static reference data and does not show flight status, terminals, delays, baggage rules, or the operating carrier for a specific codeshare flight. Airline names, codes, alliances, and operations can change, so confirm time-sensitive details with the airline or ticket seller.
