The planes have special license plates issued by the authorities that manage air traffic in each state, writes focus.it.

All private or state-owned aircraft have a registration code beginning with one or more letters identifying the country of origin (for example I for Italy, N for the US, JA for Japan), followed by five alphanumeric characters.

The license plate of an aircraft is also known as the "tail number" because of the position in which it is placed in the form of a plate.

The code is issued by the national authority regulating air traffic and has been mandatory in this form since 1944 although the first international registers date back to 1913.

The number of characters and the use of letters or numbers is at the discretion of each country.

The code always refers to the place of registration and not the airline.
