VS Airline Code: Virgin Atlantic IATA & ICAO
Virgin Atlantic is stored in this dataset as IATA code VS and ICAO code VIR, based in United Kingdom. GDS segment lines print the IATA code before the flight number. Live routes, fares and baggage policies are not in this dataset.
Overview
VS is the IATA airline designator stored for Virgin Atlantic. ICAO is VIR. Country of record: United Kingdom. On a cryptic GDS line the IATA code sits immediately before the flight number, for example VS 456. Agents should not confuse VS (two characters, sometimes a digit such as 6E) with VIR (three letters). This code page does not list routes, alliances, baggage rules, or fleet. Those facts are not in the dataset. Other United Kingdom carriers stored here: BA (British Airways), U2 (easyJet), LS (Jet2.com). To decode a full itinerary that markets VS, paste the PNR into the parser.
How to use this page
- Find VS 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 Virgin Atlantic.
- Do not add baggage or meal claims that the PNR did not print.
Example
