THE BIRDS AREN'T REAL. THE AIRCRAFT ARE.

Callsign UAE is Emirates

WHAT AIRLINE IS UAE?

UAE is the ICAO three-letter callsign prefix for Emirates. When a radio scanner, flight tracker or radar scope shows a flight like UAE123 or UAE45XY overhead, that's a Emirates aircraft talking to air traffic control.

Spot one yourself: open the live scope, enter your postcode, and tap any blip whose callsign starts with UAE for its type, registration, route and photo.
