ATC Airline Callsign/Codes

foxtrotlimaalpha6 Senior Member USA

This information is hard to find on the internet and when listening to some liveatc feeds and following on flightaware there are still some that I'm unsure of.

AWE- America West: "cactus"
TRS- Air Tran: "citrus"
AAL- American
UAL- United
DAL- Delta

these are all obvious but what about the odd ones like brickyard, critter, etc. and what about small regional airlines like Mesa, Expressjet, Gojet, etc?

If anyone could compile a good list that would be great

Critter was Value Jet. They purchased a small company named Air Tran after the Everglades crash and switched to their callsign.

"Cactus" is US Airways. They merged with America West a few years ago.

And if I remember correctly, Republic was based in Indy? Which is close to VHP (Brickyard.)
