Dear colleagues! Please advise me about a registration of a business jet in Austria (OE-...)! Where I could find all info regarding this problem?
Thank you, Best regards,
Roman
Registration suffix "5B" belongs to Cyprus. In the image, this suffix is attached to Crete, which is a Greek Island. The registration code for Greece is "SX".

Does anybody knows if Serbia is still using YU-abc and if Montenegro has got their own? -- Necessary Evil 16:21, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
Aircraft registration for East Timor wanted! -- Necessary Evil 16:21, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
Is there any information about the very meaning of the aircraft registration codes? I mean some are quite obvious, SE (Sverige) for Sweden, D (Deutschland), F (France) for France and so on. But others, like N for the USA, OY for Denmark or 9A for Croatia seem to be without any meaning at all. How are new codes created? Why are some of them so absurd? Very few, even of the new ones, are the same as the ISO-codes or the internet domains. -- Andhanq 13:10, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
Is there a historic reason why Mexico and Brasil have more than one code? 84.173.202.98 15:52, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
There seems to be no logic at all to country civil aircraft codes. Except for some which are apparent and commonly used (like in EU countries - F for France, G for the UK, D for Germany etc)
For example, India is VT. I understand that this code was allocated when the country was under British rule way back in 1947. Obviously it hasn't changed since then. But if you look at the neighbouring countries the codes have no logic and no relation to "VT" nor their country names for eg. Sri Lanka is 4R, Pakistan is AP, Afghanistan is YA, Maldives is 8Q, Bangladesh is S2, Nepal is 9N, Bhutan is A5.......
Does anyone know if there's a method in this madness ?? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Sm777 ( talk • contribs) 14:01, 1 February 2007 (UTC).
I thought I had answered this question above! in 'Logic of the System', if you read my answer above and still have further questions then please ask. Not sure why you think adjacent countries should have similar codes. The allocation is dependant on when they joined the ITU and they where then allocated whatever callsign blocks where not allocated. The early countries used single letters, then as civil aviation expanded they used double letter prefixes, when they ran out they started to use number/letter combinations.

Dear Author s of the european map!
in your map the code D2 is shown, as being from Andorra. I think it should be C3, bacause D2 is for Angola.
Eric
Esteemed maker of the map on this page. The code for Andorra appears to be incorrect as the table on this page notes a different prefix. Thank you. Starmanjr 04:39, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
I'm removing "Palestine" (SU-Y) from the list since it's not listed in the FAA reference (SU is listed as allocated entirely to Egypt), and the provisional ITU Prefix for the Palestinian Authority is E4. -- uriber 13:51, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
As far as I can tell, the table does not include prefixes that haven't been used fro aviation purposes yet. Why not? Even a Note attached to the relevant ones could inform which haven't been used yet, only assigned. I think it's better than leaving out countries/regions. I am about to make the changes after writing this, feel free to revert. Opinions? Qaanaaq 05:06, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
This list of inconsistencies isn't necessarily complete; it's just the ones I noticed. Can anybody explain this? Would a list be interesting enough to be part of some article?

I have with great interest read the article about nationality marks, especially as I have recently researched the matter thoroughly. Unfortunately the result of my research does not entirely agree with the contents of the article.
Among the differences are, that the assignment of nationality marks did not start with ITU's list of radio callsigns in 1913. An abortive attempt was a 1909 conference in Paris, which nevertheless served as the basis for the 1919 list made by the participants in the peace talks in Versailles. The ITU list only came into the picture in 1922 when France suggested that this list should form the basis for the nationality marks.
I have not made a complete list of disagreements, but "my" version of the history - with the focus on the Danish part of it - can be seen on my web-page www.danishaircraft.dk
As a result of the research, I am in possession of the complete documentation, which I am willling to share.
Another minor item is the remarks on Danish (including Faroese Islands and Greenland) registrations. Gliders have registrations all over the alphabet, but with at least one X in the registration. Balloons are not Bxx, but xOx.

TJ- is shown as being Cameroon. This is correct for present day aircraft, but the code TJ- was also used for Transjordan in the 1950s, TJ- registered aircraft were later to become JY- registered. Should the table have a column to show the dates the code was in use from and to? Mjroots ( talk) 06:22, 15 October 2009 (UTC)
Are there any country in the world that use code XX-XXXX?? X means letter. —Preceding unsigned comment added by
Is it true that when an airliner is involved in a minor-moderate accident and is repaired and put back into service that the airline will often change the tail number so that passengers can't look up the number and find out that this plane was previously involved in an accident and therefore not want to get on board? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 4.182.205.113 ( talk) 07:20, 12 February 2011 (UTC)
Has South Sudan introduced their own registration system yet? Roger ( talk) 17:02, 29 November 2011 (UTC)
Why does the section on Concorde exist (in the United Kingdom entry)? This seems to be nothing to do with the general format and nature of aircraft registrations, more a record of individual airframes. Many aircraft get re-registered abroad and then return to their previous registrations. Unless anyone can offer an explanation, I suggest it's removed. Lestocq ( talk) 17:44, 25 December 2011 (UTC)
I found a doc that I don't see referenced and has some differences, perhaps it can help with some confirmations.
http://daveg4otu.tripod.com/prefix.txt
I notice Cambodia is listed as KH-xxx in the linked doc and XU-aaa on the wiki page. There may be many more differences but I was trying to track down a tail number used in a Tintin cartoon film "Red Sea sharks".
The whole listing is very complicated and I will bow out from what I do not understand. Idyllic press ( talk) 12:31, 14 April 2013 (UTC)
Should there be a section for registrations that are no longer in use? Most obvious example is SSSR-nnnnn for the Soviet Union; also Yugoslavia and Czechoslovakia. (Worth noting that what looks to first-language-English eyes as Latin-alphabet "CCCP" is in fact Cyrillic-alphabet "СССР", which are the letters for S and R. So it is an error to refer to "CCCP-12345" in English-language text.) 203.52.130.149 ( talk) 09:56, 23 December 2013 (UTC)
In the image, Dominican Republic has the same suffix as Dominica, a small independent country in lesser antilles. Correct suffix for Dominican Republic is "HI". -- 179.53.47.86 ( talk) 02:13, 13 November 2014 (UTC)
