ME Airline Code: Middle East Airlines IATA & ICAO
Middle East Airlines is stored in this dataset as IATA code ME and ICAO code MEA, based in Lebanon. GDS segment lines print the IATA code before the flight number. Live routes, fares and baggage policies are not in this dataset.
Overview
ME is the IATA airline designator stored for Middle East Airlines. ICAO is MEA. Country of record: Lebanon. On a cryptic GDS line the IATA code sits immediately before the flight number, for example ME 456. Agents should not confuse ME (two characters, sometimes a digit such as 6E) with MEA (three letters). This code page does not list routes, alliances, baggage rules, or fleet. Those facts are not in the dataset. Other Lebanon carriers stored here: none stored. To decode a full itinerary that markets ME, paste the PNR into the parser.
How to use this page
- Find ME 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).

- Do not add baggage or meal claims that the PNR did not print.
Example
