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