The Alphabets of call sign : Use them to communicate with airlines

Aviation call signs are not the cup of tea of the general public except military and aviation enthusiasts. You might be wondering that what I am planning to do with this in this post but it might be of some help if you are a traveler in india or abroad. There have been many instances where I have had to take the help of airlines over phone for the confirmation of PNR or seats and in that instance everyone knows that speaking and hearing of the correct alphabet becomes important for the query to be resolved very quickly.

A number of customer support executives now are well versed in aviation call signs and if you say A , chances are that they`ll enquire “ A as in alpha?” instead of Apple. So I present to you the ABC of aviation call signs which might be useful to you in case you encounter an aviation geek in the customer care of any airlines over the phone.
