Airlines & Air Cargo Directory FAQ
What is an IATA airline code?
An IATA code is a two-character code that identifies an airline, for example EK for Emirates. Air waybills use a separate three-digit airline prefix.

What information is available for each airline?
Airline profiles may include the IATA and ICAO codes, cargo division, headquarters, fleet, hubs, network, alliance, and related carriers when verified data is available.
What is an air waybill (AWB)?
An AWB is the transport document for air cargo. It is formatted as a three-digit airline prefix followed by an eight-digit serial number, and acts as the receipt and contract of carriage for the shipment.
Is the airline directory free?
Yes. Browsing airlines and looking up IATA codes is completely free and needs no sign-up.
How do I find an airline from an air waybill number?
The first three digits of an 11-digit air waybill are the airline prefix, which maps to a specific carrier. Use the prefix with carrier documentation, then search this directory by airline name or IATA code for profile details.
What is the difference between passenger-belly and freighter air cargo?
Belly cargo travels in the hold of a scheduled passenger aircraft, while freighter cargo flies on dedicated all-cargo aircraft with far greater volume and weight capacity. Many carriers in this directory operate both, which affects available capacity, routing, and how quickly your shipment can be booked.
