Air India (AI): Airline Code for GDS PNRs
Air India is stored in this dataset as IATA code AI and ICAO code AIC, based in India. GDS segment lines print the IATA code before the flight number. Live routes, fares and baggage policies are not in this dataset.
Overview
Air India is stored as IATA AI and ICAO AIC, country India. The converter maps marketing carrier AI to this name when the code exists in the airline table. A typical segment starts with AI plus a numeric flight number and a booking class letter. This article is not an airline homepage: schedules, change fees, and loyalty rules are omitted because they are not stored and must not be invented. Peer carriers from India in this catalog: 6E (IndiGo), UK (Vistara), SG (SpiceJet), QP (Akasa Air), G8 (Go First). Use PNR to WhatsApp or PNR to PDF after parsing if you need a customer-facing copy of a booking that includes AI.
How to use this page
- Find AI 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 India.
- Do not add baggage or meal claims that the PNR did not print.
Example
Example segment: 2 AI 456 H 26OCT 5 WLGAKL HK1 1945 2050 The parser should set marketing carrier AI (Air India) and flight 456. Class H is a fare bucket, not proof of cabin without the booking-class tool.
