What is Flight number?
A '''flight number''', when combined with the name of the [[airline]] and the date, identifies a particular flight. This [[callsign]] should not be confused with the [[aircraft registration|tail number]] of the [[aircraft]], although both can be used as a [[call-sign]] as used in [[general aviation]]. A particular aircraft may fly several different flights in one day, and different aircraft may be used for the same flight number on successive days. Sometimes when an airplane has an accident, the airline will retire the flight number and replace it with a new number. {{Transport-stub}} [[Category:Aviation]]
