Not all of these operators of Aircraft are civilian and some only operate ad-hoc chartered flights rather than scheduled flights; some operate both types of flights. Some Cargo Airline s specialise in freight Transport , an emphasis that may be reflected in the company's name.

Clearly companies' names will change over time, normally due to bankruptcies or mergers occurring. Country names can also change over time and new call signs may be agreed in substitution for traditional ones.

There are many other airlines in business whose Radio call signs are more obviously derived from the trading name.
