Introduction
We’re delighted to welcome you to the 2025 edition of Airliner World’s Global Airline Guide. All the data contained in this special supplement has been very kindly supplied by airline intelligence specialist ch-aviation.
As a rule, the country of origin of an airline can be determined by the nationality markings, established by ICAO and carried on an aircraft as part of its registration. However, this does become slightly confusing when, for political reasons or for the purposes of leasing, airliners instead display their country of registration rather than that of their employment.
