AirAsia (AK): Airline Code for GDS PNRs
AirAsia is stored in this dataset as IATA code AK and ICAO code AXM, based in Malaysia. GDS segment lines print the IATA code before the flight number. Live routes, fares and baggage policies are not in this dataset.
Overview
AirAsia is stored as IATA AK and ICAO AXM, country Malaysia. The converter maps marketing carrier AK to this name when the code exists in the airline table. A typical segment starts with AK 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 Malaysia in this catalog: MH (Malaysia Airlines). Use PNR to WhatsApp or PNR to PDF after parsing if you need a customer-facing copy of a booking that includes AK.
How to use this page

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