Aircraft Type Codes Explained

Every GDS PNR shows the aircraft as a short code — "77W", "359", "738" — not the actual plane name. Here's every code translated, in one searchable list.

These codes appear right alongside the flight times in a raw PNR — often next to the stops indicator (e.g. "E0") and the meal code (e.g. "M"). If you're not sure what a specific segment's full raw text means, paste it into the free converter and every segment's aircraft, stops, and meal info gets labeled automatically — no need to look anything up by hand.

Aircraft Codes — FAQ

What is an aircraft equipment code in a PNR?
An aircraft equipment code is a short alphanumeric code — usually 2 to 3 characters, like "77W" or "320" — that identifies the specific aircraft type operating a flight. GDS systems like Amadeus and Sabre display this code inline in the PNR, often alongside the stops and meal service information.
Why does the same aircraft family have multiple codes?
Different codes usually distinguish sub-variants or engine/winglet configurations — for example, "777" is the general Boeing 777 Passenger code, while "77W" specifically means the 777-300ER and "77L" means the 777-200LR. Airlines report the specific variant they're actually flying, not just the general family.
Does the aircraft code tell me if a flight is a widebody or narrowbody?
Not directly from the code alone, but the aircraft name does. Codes starting with 7 (Boeing) or in the 32X/33X/35X/38X ranges (Airbus) are typically widebody or larger narrowbody jets used on longer routes, while codes like ATR, CRJ, Dash 8, and Embraer regional jets are smaller aircraft used on shorter regional routes.
