Iberia (IB): Airline Code for GDS PNRs
Iberia is stored in this dataset as IATA code IB and ICAO code IBE, based in Spain. GDS segment lines print the IATA code before the flight number. Live routes, fares and baggage policies are not in this dataset.
Overview
Iberia is stored as IATA IB and ICAO IBE, country Spain. The converter maps marketing carrier IB to this name when the code exists in the airline table. A typical segment starts with IB 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 Spain in this catalog: VY (Vueling). Use PNR to WhatsApp or PNR to PDF after parsing if you need a customer-facing copy of a booking that includes IB.
How to use this page
- Find IB 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 Iberia.
- Do not add baggage or meal claims that the PNR did not print.
Example
Example segment: 2 IB 456 H 26OCT 5 WLGAKL HK1 1945 2050 The parser should set marketing carrier IB (Iberia) and flight 456. Class H is a fare bucket, not proof of cabin without the booking-class tool.
