| Jan 10, 2015 at 5:35 | comment | added | hmakholm left over Monica | The IATA allocates alphabetic prefixes to carriers, but from there each carrier then has more or less free rein to decide how to use their numbers, and it's up to them to avoid using them in a way that would create confusion for their customers and commercial partners (sales/booking infrastructure, airports, ground handlers, codeshare partners, and so forth). | |
| Jan 10, 2015 at 5:30 | comment | added | hmakholm left over Monica | The right answer may well be that a flight code identifies whatever needs to have one assigned, for any of an open-ended set of not-always-overlapping purposes. For example because an airline sells ticket to it (so some train rides have flight codes), or because the carrier's operations planning needs a number to file it under (so ferry flights may heave one), and it may depend on company procedures which things they decide need flight codes (e.g. whether an unscheduled repositioning flight to catch up after irregularities need one). | |
