- lxgr 2y agoAre you sure that’s a real flight number, and you’re not confusing it with AAL777 (which would be AA’s ICAO code, AA being IATA)? I don’t think alphanumeric flight numbers are a thing currently.
- chgs 2y agoAF296Q was a flight which crashed in 1988 They are rare though
- the_mitsuhiko 2y agoThey are not very rare. Letter suffixes are very common in Europe to avoid potential ambiguity. However they do not change the actual flight number portion. https://www.flightradar24.com/blog/clearing-up-call-sign-confusion/ https://www.flightradar24.com/blog/clearing-up-call-sign-con...
