# Airline Code Support Update - December 2024

## Expanded Code Support for Airlines

We are pleased to announce an update to our airline code support system, enhancing compatibility and flexibility in identifying airlines.

### **New Code Support**

In addition to the previously supported **2-letter IATA codes**, the system now supports the following formats:

1. **3-digit IATA codes**.
2. **3-letter ICAO codes**, providing additional precision for international airline identification.

### **Example**

| Airline Name | 2-Letter IATA | 3-Digit IATA | 3-Letter ICAO | Country |
| ------------ | ------------- | ------------ | ------------- | ------- |
| Lufthansa    | LH            | 220          | DLH           | Germany |

This enhancement ensures broader compatibility with industry standards and simplifies integration with systems requiring detailed airline identification.

### **Benefits of This Update**
