Flight number ’1’ is predominantly assigned by an airline on to it’s most prestigious or historic route, often what is considered their flagship route.
There are currently around 40 routes which have the flight number ‘1’ and are, perhaps not surprisingly, concentrated around some major cities.
Additionally some airlines appear to reserve their flight number ‘1’ for use by that countries head of state. Philippine Airlines, Air India and Vietnam Airlines for example have been known to do this.
Air France – AF001 Air France placed the AF1 code on its Concorde service between Paris and New York. Ever since the Concorde was retired, the French flag carrier has never brought the flight number back. It’ll clearly take something very special for Air France to dust that one off again.
