Finding codeshare flights

FlightAware General
1

I have always had great success finding flights here at FlightAware, but recently I went looking for IB7017 (an Iberia flight from BOS to LAX) and wasn’t able to find it here.

Under “Private Flight Tracker” I searched for IB7017, IBE7017
Under “Airline Flight Tracker” I selected Iberia and inputed Flight # 7017

I searched for flights between BOS and LAX and didn’t find anything arriving around 10:45pm (the scheduled arrival time)

Then I went to another website, FlightStats.com, typed in IB7017, and there it was. Apparently operated by American Airlines, AAL223, which does show up on FlightAware simply by inputting “AAL223” under Private Flight Tracker.

Any help or ideas?

Thanks.

To date, we have mostly focused our codeshare support on regional airlines that operate under the flight # of a major airline. We are in the process of developing a new feature that will detect a codeshare between two major airlines (like you described) and show the correct flight. You can expect that to be on the site in the next month.

Thats great! I am very happy with FlightAware and didn’t wan’t to have to go to another website to grab that info and come back.

I know I shouldn’t promote other sites but FlightStats already has developed that. Here is IB7017.

You are correct, that’s what the original post said. Thanks for the link!

Yeah I figured that out already, but I like FlightAware better because of all the other information they provide.

Oh, another feature, GATE INFO please!

Thanks!

Hi everyone, I think I have encountered a similar problem recently.
I’m looking for the following three flight numbers,
CI100, HA2830, JL5046
When I query CI100 through GET /flights/{ident} API, I can find the two codeshare flight numbers HA2830 and JL5046. However, I want to use HA2830 and JL5046 to look back for the actual flight number CI100. Is this feature available now?

Later, I discovered that I could find flight CI100 through the two flight numbers HAL2830 and JAL5046. However, I couldn’t find any information regarding the HA ↔ HAL and JL ↔ JAL mappings in the ICAO and IATA comparison tables available online.

Does FlightAware have its own internal mapping table or API that we can refer to?

In our current project, customers input flight numbers in the format HA2830 or JL5046, but our backend needs to automatically identify the corresponding flight CI100 for further processing. We are currently facing conversion issues because we cannot directly retrieve CI100 by searching HA2830 or JL5046. Instead, we first need to convert them to HAL2830 or JAL5046, then perform the search again to obtain CI100. However, we do not have access to a mapping table that provides the conversion information (e.g., HA ↔ HAL, JL ↔ JAL).

Could you provide guidance on resolving this issue? Thank you!
