If the airline does not have the three-letter code ICAO code, please contact your local Civil Aviation Authority to request a code. Assignments will not be made until IATA has received a copy of a valid Airline Operating Certificate issued by the Civil Aviation Authority in the Country of Registry of the requesting company. In some countries, it may be known as a Licence or Permit to Operate and may be more than one document. The document(s) must specify the type of service the airline is authorized to operate, (scheduled or nonscheduled, passenger or cargo only or passenger and cargo), where these services may be performed (domestically, internationally or both) and the period of validity (i.e. 12 months from the date of issue or for an indefinite period). A new airline may be assigned a provisional airline designator code when written notification is received from the relevant Civil Aviation Authority that enterprise is substantially meeting the requirements for the issuance of a licence to operate commercial air transport services. A provisional assignment shall be valid for a non-renewable period of six (6) months. For airlines authorized to operate on a scheduled basis, the planned schedules must be submitted to OAG Worldwide and/or INNOVATA, LLC, or other schedule aggregators, reservations or ticketing systems. Once the schedules have been received and verified, the company will provide confirmation to IATA. A two-way interline traffic agreement is an agreement whereby both parties agree to sell transportation services and accept each others accountable traffic documents (tickets and/or air waybills) over each others routes. For the assignment of an IATA designator, two-way interline traffic agreements are concluded with IATA or ATA Member airlines. Confirmation of the agreement must be provided by an IATA airline code holder and signed by the Interline Manager or an equivalent and must specify which type(s) of interline services has been concluded, i.e. either Passenger Only, Cargo Only or both Passenger and Cargo. This confirmation is to be submitted to the IATA Code Administration Coordinator. If the airline (scheduled or non-scheduled) requires a designator for teletype telecommunications services, confirmation of membership in either SITA or ARINC must be provided to the IATA Code Administration Coordinator. If a non-airline ULD Owner/Leasing Company is not a participant in the Interline ULD Control User Group, please contact the Manager, Cargo Business Planning, IATA, Montreal. Member airline(s) of IATA or ATA must submit confirmation to the IATA Code Administration Coordinator that the CRS company will be providing CRS services for the airline(s).
