History
When Alitalia stopped flying, ITA Airways took its place.
What the codes mean
The two-character IATA code is the one on tickets, boarding passes and flight numbers (AZ 123). The three-letter ICAO code is used in flight plans and by air traffic control. The radio callsign is what pilots and controllers say on the radio: a flight filed as AZA123 is called “ALITALIA one two three”.
