Module to generate airline and airport related data.Overview
Several methods in this module return objects rather than strings. For example, you can use {{$airline.airportIataCode}} to pick out the specific property you need.For a random airport, use {{$airline.airportName}} and {{$airline.airportIataCode}}.For a random airline, use {{$airline.airlineName}} and {{$airline.airlineIataCode}}.For a dummy booking, a passenger will generally book a flight on a specific {{$airline.flightNumber}}, {{$airline.airplaneName}}, be allocated a {{$airline.seat}} and {{$airline.recordLocator}}.To generate sample passenger data, you can use the methods of the person module.
aircraftType#
Returns a random aircraft type.Returns: 'narrowbody' | 'regional' | 'widebody'
airline#
The original faker.airline.airline() method has been refined into two more precise variables:{{$airline.airlineName}}: Generates an airline name.
{{$airline.airlineIataCode}}: Generates an airline IATA code.
airplane#
The original faker.airline.airplane() method has been refined into two more precise variables:{{$airline.airplaneName}}: Generates an airplane name.
{{$airline.airplaneIataTypeCode}}: Generates an airplane IATA code.
airport#
The original faker.airline.airport() method has been refined into two more precise variables:{{$airline.airportName}}: Generates an airport name.
{{$airline.airportIataCode}}: Generates an airport IATA code.
flightNumber#
Returns a random flight number. Flight numbers are always 1 to 4 digits long. Sometimes they are used without leading zeros (e.g.: American Airlines flight 425) and sometimes with leading zeros, often with the airline code prepended (e.g.: AA0425).To generate a flight number prepended with an airline code, combine this function with the airline() function and use template literals:| Name | Type | Default | Description |
|---|
| addLeadingZeros | boolean | false | Whether to pad the flight number up to 4 digits with leading zeros. |
| length | number | { min: number; max: number; } | { min: 1, max: 4 } |
recordLocator#
Generates a random record locator. Record locators are used by airlines to identify reservations. They're also known as booking reference numbers, locator codes, confirmation codes, or reservation codes.| Name | Type | Default | Description |
|---|
| allowNumerics | boolean | false | Whether to allow numeric characters. |
| allowVisuallySimilarCharacters | boolean | false | Whether to allow visually similar characters such as '1' and 'I'. |
seat#
| Name | Type | Default | Description |
|---|
| aircraftType | 'narrowbody' | 'regional' | 'widebody' | narrowbody | The aircraft type. Can be one of narrowbody, regional, widebody. |
