Royal Air Force

Most Common

RRR is the ICAO airline designator code for the Royal Air Force (RAF) of the United Kingdom when operating military flights that are registered in civil aviation traffic systems. Although the Royal Air Force is not a commercial airline, its aircraft may appear in international air traffic control systems, flight tracking services, and coordination with civil aviation authorities using the callsign “RRR” (often pronounced "Triple R").

This designation is especially relevant when RAF transport aircraft, such as those from the RAF Air Mobility Command (e.g., C-17 Globemaster, Voyager, or Atlas A400M), are flying across international airspace, participating in humanitarian missions, or conducting diplomatic or military transport flights. The RRR callsign helps distinguish these state-operated aircraft from commercial or private aviation traffic.
