I'm interested in what callsigns used by ATCs are used for these airlines:

Qantas
Ansett
Canadian Airlines
Air Canada
British Airways
Lufthansa
JAL
All Nippon Airways
Cathay Pacific

Also, any websites that you know of that list callsigns would be appreciated!

Whats the point of them? It seems that all that are listed above are the same as their corresponding airline name, e.g. All Nippon=All Nippon, Qantas=Qantas... The only one thats different is British Airways=Speedbird, probably because there is British Midland BTW what is there code?

Yeah, I wonder why, after looking at the website Jet Setter pointed out to me. I guess they want to cut down on the jargon to avoid confusion on the part of both pilots and ATCs.

Acutally, "Speedbird" is the call sign from BOAC. The tails of BOAC carried a "Lufthansa-like" bird for many years. When BOAC merged with BEA (British European Airways) then call-sign "Speedbird" became the call sign for all British Airways flights. British Midland, I'm pretty sure is just "Midland." Hope this helps!
