One API for Every Airline Logo Format

An airline logo API lets a product retrieve the correct airline branding programmatically instead of collecting, editing and maintaining image files manually. Airhex matches each logo to standard airline identifiers and returns a ready-to-use asset for web, mobile and operational aviation systems.

Look Up Logos by IATA or ICAO Code

Request a logo using the two-letter IATA code or three-letter ICAO code already present in your flight and airline data. Airhex handles the connection between aviation identifiers and the corresponding brand assets.

SVG and PNG in Custom Sizes

Use scalable SVG assets where licensed, or request optimised raster images in the dimensions required by your interface. PNG, JPEG and GIF output remain available for compatible integrations.

Five Logo Variants

Choose rectangular, square, circular, tail or flipped-tail assets to fit search results, mobile cards, departure boards and other layouts. Maintain the original proportions when the interface requires a custom canvas.

Light and Dark Interfaces

Request branding suitable for light or dark backgrounds without maintaining separate image-processing logic in your application.

Daily Logo Updates

Airhex reviews airline branding changes and updates its production library daily. This reduces the work required to track new airlines, rebrands and visual changes across a large travel product.

API, CDN or Complete Download

Retrieve logos on demand, use CDN delivery or license a complete logo set for your own infrastructure. Availability depends on the selected commercial plan.

Airline Logo Variants

Use a consistent logo variant for each component instead of manually cropping airline artwork for every screen.

Built for Travel and Aviation Products

Online Travel Agencies and Metasearch

Display consistent airline branding in flight-search results, filters and fare comparisons. Retrieve the correct asset using the airline code already supplied by the booking or flight-data system.

Airports and Flight Information Displays

Add airline symbols and tail graphics to departures, arrivals, kiosks and operational displays without maintaining a separate image library at every installation.

Travel Apps and Flight Trackers

Use compact symbols for mobile interfaces and detailed logo variants for airline profiles, flight cards and notifications.

Booking Confirmations and Itineraries

Add recognisable carrier branding to confirmations, itineraries, emails and travel documents using a predictable API-based workflow.

How Airhex Keeps Airline Logos Current

Airline brands change as carriers launch, merge, rename or update their visual identity. Airhex combines automated monitoring with human review to identify changes and update the logo library. Production customers receive access to the current library without rebuilding or redistributing every asset manually.

Monitor airline and industry sources for changes.
Review and prepare consistent logo variants.
Publish the updated assets to the production library.

Integrate Airline Logos Into Your Product

The Airhex Airline Logo API uses predictable asset URLs based on the airline code, requested dimensions, logo type and output format.

SVG logos:
https://content.airhex.com/content/logos/airlines_AIRLINECODE_TYPE.svg

Where:

AIRLINECODE: 2-letter IATA or 3-letter ICAO airline code (e.g., EY).
WIDTH & HEIGHT (PNG only): Logo dimensions in pixels.
TYPE:
- r - Rectangular logo (3.5:1 ratio)

Authentication — MD5 Signature

Construct a string from your parameters and API key, then generate an MD5 hash from this string.

For PNG, GIF, JPEG logos, the string format is: AIRLINECODE_WIDTH_HEIGHT_TYPE_APIKEY

Example (PNG):

String for hashing: EY_350_100_r_1234567890
MD5 Hash result: ac02e5e0100bc5da32b53e8b8c6f617f

For SVG logos, the string format is: AIRLINECODE_TYPE_APIKEY

Example (SVG):

String for hashing: EY_r_1234567890
MD5 Hash result: a4ab6d52b59c1a12918935231b124b1e

Complete Signed URL & SVG Licensing

Add the MD5 hash to your URL as the md5apikey parameter.

Note: SVG logos require an active license. Contact us for SVG support.

Parameters — Themes, Proportions & Background

Dark Theme Logo

Use the theme=dark parameter to get a logo optimized for dark backgrounds. The API will automatically select or generate a version with better visibility on dark surfaces. Alternatively, you can use dark=1 for the same effect.

https://content.airhex.com/content/logos/airlines_EY_350_100_r.png?theme=dark

Light theme (default):

Dark theme:

Note: Available values are theme=light (default) or theme=dark. You can also use the legacy parameter dark=1 instead of theme=dark.

Maintain Aspect Ratio

Use the proportions=keep parameter to preserve the logo's original aspect ratio:

https://content.airhex.com/content/logos/airlines_EY_700_100_r.png?proportions=keep

Custom Background Color

Use the background=hexcolor parameter to define a custom logo background color:

https://content.airhex.com/content/logos/airlines_EY_350_100_r.png?background=3399cc

Response Formats, Errors & Demo Limitations

Code rules: Provide a 2-letter IATA code (e.g. EY) or a 3-letter ICAO code (e.g. ETD). Codes are case-insensitive.
Width & height: Positive integers in pixels for raster formats. SVG output scales freely and ignores fixed dimensions.
Formats: PNG, GIF and JPEG for raster; SVG for vector (active licence required).
Successful response: HTTP 200 with the image bytes and the matching Content-Type (for example image/png or image/svg+xml).
Authentication errors: A missing or invalid md5apikey returns a watermarked or error image — verify the hashed string order CODE_WIDTH_HEIGHT_TYPE_APIKEY.
Demo limitations: Demo or unauthenticated requests may return watermarked or cached assets. Licensed API access serves the current production library.
Caching & rate limits: Assets are served from the Airhex CDN and are safe to cache by URL. Plan-specific limits apply — see pricing and licensing.

Airline Logo API FAQ

What is an airline logo API?

An airline logo API is a service that retrieves an airline’s branding asset programmatically. Airhex lets travel and aviation products request a ready-to-use logo using an IATA or ICAO airline code instead of manually collecting and maintaining image files.

Can I retrieve airline logos using IATA and ICAO codes?

Yes. Airhex supports two-letter IATA codes and three-letter ICAO codes, allowing the API to work with the airline identifiers commonly found in booking, flight-data and aviation systems.

How many airline logos are available?

Airhex currently provides 2058 airline logos, generated from the same verified source used elsewhere on this page so coverage figures stay consistent.

Which logo formats are supported?

The API supports SVG and PNG, with JPEG and GIF available for compatible raster requests.

Which airline logo variants can I request?

Airhex provides rectangular, square, circular, tail and flipped-tail variants. Theme and proportion parameters can be used for additional interface requirements.

How often are airline logos updated?

Airhex monitors airline branding and updates its production logo library daily. Recently changed assets may appear differently in demo access, so production customers should use authenticated requests for the current library.

Can I use airline logos on dark backgrounds?

Yes. Use the dark-theme parameter to request an asset prepared for better visibility on dark interfaces. Light remains the default theme.

Can I request a custom image size or background colour?

Raster requests can specify width and height, and supported parameters can preserve the original proportions or apply a custom background colour.

Can I download the complete airline logo library?

Yes. Airhex offers API access and complete logo-set licensing. Available formats, delivery options and usage rights depend on the selected commercial licence.

Can the logos be used commercially?

Commercial use is subject to the applicable Airhex plan, licence terms and relevant brand rights. Contact Airhex for terms covering the intended product, territory and delivery method.
