Airline logos for airport displays and apps
Airports need current airline logos on flight information displays, gate screens, baggage reclaim, websites and apps. The logostream Airline Logo API returns the logo for an IATA or ICAO code (1,100+ airlines), with variants for light and dark screens, so one request replaces a folder of hand-maintained image files.
variant=logo-whiteWhy airline logos go stale on airport displays
A flight row is only as good as its logo. Airlines rebrand, merge and retire, and a display system that stores its own copies drifts out of date. Every screen type also wants a different treatment: white on dark at the belt, full colour on a bright gate.
How one lookup replaces a folder of logo files
Look the logo up by the code your flight feed already carries. Pick the variant per screen with a single parameter. The images come from one source, so a rebrand reaches every display without a ticket to the signage team.
How do airports get airline logos onto displays?
An airport display system requests each logo by airline code instead of storing image files. The flight feed already carries an IATA code such as LH or an ICAO code such as DLH, and GET /airlines/iata/{iata} or GET /airlines/icao/{icao} returns that airline's logo. The code in the feed is the only lookup value needed, so rows from different airlines mix freely on one display.
The variant parameter sets the treatment per screen: logo-white for dark baggage reclaim screens, logo for bright gate screens, icon-transparent or tail where space is tight. PNG works on every plan, up to 200px on Free and 600px on Startup. Pro and Enterprise add SVG.
Caching depends on the plan. Free logos are requested live on each use, Startup allows caching for up to 24 hours, and Pro and Enterprise add custom caching layers. The Free plan includes 20,000 requests per month, so a prototype display costs nothing.
Where airports show airline logos
Flight information displays
Put a logo next to every departure and arrival row. The code in your feed is the only key you need, and rows can mix airlines freely.
Gate and boarding screens
Show the operating carrier large and clear at the gate, in the full-colour or white logo to match the screen.
Baggage reclaim
Belts are usually dark, high-contrast screens. The white logo variant stays legible without custom image editing.
Airport website and app
The same lookup powers the flight board on your site and the tracker in your app, so web, mobile and terminal screens always agree.

What airports get
One lookup per row
Your flight feed already has the code. No mapping tables, no manual asset library.
Light and dark in one parameter
Switch a screen between logo and logo-white without touching image files.
SVG for large displays
Pro and Enterprise deliver vector logos that stay sharp on any panel size.
Animated icons
Pro and Enterprise include animated airline icons for lively wayfinding and app screens.
Caching you can plan around
Startup lets you cache logos for up to 24 hours. Pro and Enterprise add custom caching layers for production signage.
Free tier to build on
20,000 requests per month cost nothing, so a prototype display needs no procurement step.

When this is not the right tool
- You need live flight status or schedules. logostream supplies logos and reference data, not operational flight data.
- You need guaranteed offline operation with zero network calls. Use a caching plan or an Enterprise setup with your own domain, and plan a local fallback.
How we check this page
Logos and variants shown here are requested live from the Airline Logo API. Flight times, fares and CO2 figures in the demos are sample data and labelled as such. Endpoints and parameters are taken from the public OpenAPI spec.
