Why teams choose managed airline data

Building an airline database seems simple — until you try to keep 2,589 carriers accurate across every endpoint.

Manual curation doesn't scale

Gathering airline names, codes, and enrichment data from multiple sources burns engineering time that should go into your product.

Codes and names change constantly

IATA reassignments, mergers, rebrands, and new carriers launch regularly. Every change means another manual update — or stale data in your product.

Official directories aren't usable

IATA and ICAO coding directories contain legal entity names, duplicates, and regulatory entries that mean nothing to end users.

Missing data hurts the experience

No check-in link, wrong airline name, or outdated alliance data — small gaps create friction in booking flows and erode user trust.

Where Airline Data Matters

Real-world passenger experiences powered by airline data — logos, codes, routes, and enrichment fields from the Airhex API.

Three steps to airline data

Choose your delivery model, query airlines, and ship — we handle sourcing and updates.

1
Choose API or One-Off Delivery

Subscribe for ongoing API access or request a one-off data export. Both options include every airline and all available fields.

2
Query Any Airline

Pass an IATA or ICAO code, filter by country or alliance, or search by name. The API returns structured JSON instantly. For one-off delivery, receive a ready-to-use data package.

3
Stay Current Automatically

We source, verify, and update all airline records daily. API subscribers get updates instantly. One-off customers can re-download at any time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Each airline record includes marketing name, full name, IATA code, ICAO code, country of registration, alliance membership, operational type, active status, and founding year. Growth-tier plans add web check-in URLs, baggage policy links, frequent flyer program names, low-cost flag, color scheme, and official website.

Official IATA and ICAO coding directories are designed for regulatory use — they contain legal entity names, duplicates, and entries that mean nothing to end users. Airhex cleans, deduplicates, and enriches that raw data into a production-ready database with trade names, logos, alliance data, and passenger-facing links so you can ship faster.

Yes — the airlines endpoint supports substring search on marketing_name and full_name fields. Search for "Delta" to find Delta Air Lines, Delta Connection, and other matches.

Pass country_code (ISO 2-letter) to filter airlines by country. Pass alliance (Star Alliance, oneworld, SkyTeam) to filter by alliance membership.

The entire airline data set refreshes daily. New carriers, alliance changes, code reassignments, and operational status updates appear automatically.

All endpoints return JSON with a consistent schema. Responses include a top-level array of matching records.

We provide a purified coding directory, regularly updated with essential airline data, saving you time and effort in converting legal names to trade names and managing original coding directory duplicates.

Airline data around the world changes every day — codes, URLs, alliances, operational status. Keeping track of all these changes manually is challenging, and outdated data can lead to poor user experiences. We verify and update all information daily so your product always provides current data.

We convert every legal name to its trade name so users can search and find airlines by their commonly known names. Lufthansa is exactly Lufthansa, not "Deutsche Lufthansa AG LH220" as in official directories.

Yes. The data set provides trade names (marketing_name) for ease of recognition and the original legal names (full_name) from official IATA and ICAO coding directories, so you can match with existing or third-party data.

Embed direct check-in links and baggage policy URLs into e-tickets and booking confirmations. Display frequent flyer program names alongside fares. Show alliance membership for codeshare routing. All of this creates a more streamlined travel experience with no manual data sourcing.

Sign up on the pricing page, pick a plan, and receive your API key instantly. You can start querying the airlines endpoint within minutes. We also offer a demo data set if you want to evaluate the data before committing.
