Only one airline designator/flight number is operational on any one leg, but a leg may have multiple, non-operational flight numbers. Example: Legs AD, BD and CD are each members (with Leg DE) of funnel flights ADE, BDE and CDE. Legs AD and DE comprise Segment AE (ADE), and are identified by the member flight number DL 123.

Leg DE is not identified by flight number DL 456 when it is not a member of Segment BE (BDE). Leg DE is not identified by flight number DL 789 when it is not a member of Segment CE (CDE). It continues to be identified as DL 123 when it is point-to-point from D to E. Note: A funnel flight may be built in either direction, from many legs into one segment (as in the above example), and/or from one leg into many segments.
