You will find that there are 7 global indicators and these are used in the airline industry to help mark which areas the baggage has come from.
The 7 global indicators are as follows:
· Atlantic Route (AT)
This indicator is used when a journey has been made from an IATA area 1 and 2 and came via the Atlantic ocean.
· Atlantic and Pacific Route (AP)
This covers any journeys that are made from an IATA area 2 and 3 and came via the Atlantic and Pacific ocean.
· Eastern Hemisphere (EH)
This covers any journeys that are made from an IATA area within 2 and 3 or between 2 and 3.
· Western Hemisphere (WH)
This covers any journeys that are made from an IATA in area 1.
· Trans Siberian Route (TS)
This covers any journeys that are made from Europe to the Far East via Moscow.
· Pacific Route (PA)
This covers any journeys that are made from an IATA area 1 and 3 and came via the Pacific ocean.
· Polar Route (PO)
This covers any journeys that are made from Europe to the Far East via Alaska.
This coding can be very useful for airports when sorting tickets and baggage and certainly for tracking any lost items.
