AF Airline Code: Air France IATA & ICAO
Air France is stored in this dataset as IATA code AF and ICAO code AFR, based in France. GDS segment lines print the IATA code before the flight number. Live routes, fares and baggage policies are not in this dataset.
Overview
AF is the IATA airline designator stored for Air France. ICAO is AFR. Country of record: France. On a cryptic GDS line the IATA code sits immediately before the flight number, for example AF 456. Agents should not confuse AF (two characters, sometimes a digit such as 6E) with AFR (three letters). This code page does not list routes, alliances, baggage rules, or fleet. Those facts are not in the dataset. Other France carriers stored here: none stored. To decode a full itinerary that markets AF, paste the PNR into the parser.
How to use this page
- Find AF at the start of the flight line in the PNR.
- Paste the full itinerary into the PNR parser (or the GDS-specific parser if you know the host).
- Confirm the carrier name resolves to Air France.
- Do not add baggage or meal claims that the PNR did not print.
Example
Example segment: 2 AF 456 H 26OCT 5 WLGAKL HK1 1945 2050 The parser should set marketing carrier AF (Air France) and flight 456. Class H is a fare bucket, not proof of cabin without the booking-class tool.
