Tip: How to enter a one-character name (passenger surname comprising one letter) in a PNR/booking file

If the passenger's surname is one character, you can add it to a name field or SSR DOCS. AIRIMP (Airline interline messaging procedures from IATA) states the following rule (2.6.10.2):

Combine the single letter family name with the given name of the passenger as the family name. For example, enter Miss Mary Y as YMARY/MISS and enter Miss Tuyetmai Van A as ATUYETMAIVAN/MISS.

Multiple members of a single letter family name must be entered as individual name elements. For example, John and Sally U must be entered as UJOHN/MR and USALLY/MRS.

If in doubt, please contact the airline for the required format.

Tip: How to enter a passenger name without first name in a PNR/booking file

If a passenger only has a name, and no first or last name in his passport, the name needs to be added differently to a PNR. Airlines might have different regulations.

For example: Miss Indradanarta can be added as: INDRADANARTA/MRS, INDRADANARTA/INDRADANARTA MRS or INDRADANARTA/FNU MRS (FNU = First Name Unavailable).

Please contact the airline for the required format.
