Questions about the API

How many airlines are in the database?

Our database includes over 5,000 airlines, from major international carriers to regional airlines and cargo operators.

What is the difference between IATA and ICAO airline codes?

IATA codes are 2-letter codes used commercially (e.g., AA for American Airlines). ICAO codes are 3-letter codes used by air traffic control (e.g., AAL). IATA and name lookup are available on all plans; ICAO lookup is a premium feature.

How do I look up an airline?

Use the iata parameter with a 2-letter code (e.g., ?iata=AA), the name parameter for name search (e.g., ?name=American Airlines), or the icao parameter for ICAO codes (premium, e.g., ?icao=AAL).

Can I search by airline name?

Yes! Use the name parameter to search by airline name. For example, ?name=American Airlines will find American Airlines.

Do you provide logo URLs?

Yes! Premium plans include a logourl field with a URL to the airline logo image. This is useful for displaying airline branding in your application.

What data is returned for each airline?

Basic data includes IATA code, ICAO code, airline name, and country. Premium plans also get the airline logo URL.

How often is the data updated?

We update airline data weekly to capture new airlines, mergers, code changes, and cessations.

What if an airline code is not found?

The API returns an error if the code is not in our database. Ensure you are using a valid 2-letter IATA code, 3-letter ICAO code, or correct airline name.
