To avoid callsign confusion in busy UAE/GCC airspace the flight number, perhaps used as callsign before, is changed for some flights to avoid what is known as ‘callsign confusion’. Flights amongst GCC carriers but especially UAE ones are identified that could pose a ‘callsign confusion’ risk to oth...
Jump to postOK, got it. I was conflating callsigns with flight numbers as displayed on flightradar24.
Thanks all.

It’s a European atc thing to combat similar sounding callsigns I believe. Could be but these flights don't appear to go near Europe. They usually fly north from the west coast (+/- 5 degrees) to very near the pole (either side) then south through Russia and east of the Caspian Sea into DXB. I've fl...

On Flightradar24 just now I see UAE flights UAE37V, 41P and 93Q from LAX, SFO and SEA to DXB. Please, what is the significance of the V, P and Q in the flight numbers?
I don't recall seeing them before.
