Middle East Airlines (ME): Airline Code for GDS PNRs
Middle East Airlines is stored in this dataset as IATA code ME and ICAO code MEA, based in Lebanon. GDS segment lines print the IATA code before the flight number. Live routes, fares and baggage policies are not in this dataset.
Overview
Middle East Airlines is stored as IATA ME and ICAO MEA, country Lebanon. The converter maps marketing carrier ME to this name when the code exists in the airline table. A typical segment starts with ME 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 Lebanon in this catalog: none stored. Use PNR to WhatsApp or PNR to PDF after parsing if you need a customer-facing copy of a booking that includes ME.
