IB Airline Code: Iberia IATA & ICAO
Iberia is stored in this dataset as IATA code IB and ICAO code IBE, based in Spain. GDS segment lines print the IATA code before the flight number. Live routes, fares and baggage policies are not in this dataset.
Overview
IB is the IATA airline designator stored for Iberia. ICAO is IBE. Country of record: Spain. On a cryptic GDS line the IATA code sits immediately before the flight number, for example IB 456. Agents should not confuse IB (two characters, sometimes a digit such as 6E) with IBE (three letters). This code page does not list routes, alliances, baggage rules, or fleet. Those facts are not in the dataset. Other Spain carriers stored here: VY (Vueling). To decode a full itinerary that markets IB, paste the PNR into the parser.
How to use this page
- Find IB 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 Iberia.
- Do not add baggage or meal claims that the PNR did not print.
Example
Example segment: 2 IB 456 H 26OCT 5 WLGAKL HK1 1945 2050 The parser should set marketing carrier IB (Iberia) and flight 456. Class H is a fare bucket, not proof of cabin without the booking-class tool.
