A few notes of my own experience
[edit]I worked in an airline company call center and it was very often that I would hear "indigo" for I instead of "India" with English speakers around the globe making their ticket and luggage reservations using the NATO spelling. Has anyone else heard this? I would say 90% of the people say "indigo" and not "India" when meaning I. Just a note! 188.77.189.188 (talk) 11:51, 14 September 2024 (UTC)
- You can create a standard, but you can't get everyone to follow it.
- According to the BBC[1] "At some US airports, the use of 'Delta' is avoided because it is also the call sign for Delta Air Lines. 'Dixie' seems to be the most common substitute... In British police work the use of 'India' has been replaced by 'Indigo'... In Indonesia, the word 'Lima' is seldom used since the word 'lima' means number five (5) in Bahasa Indonesia. Instead, 'London' is most often used." --Guy Macon Alternate Account (talk) 14:32, 14 September 2024 (UTC)
- Nice ref. We'd removed some of those. I'll put them back. — kwami (talk) 03:34, 15 September 2024 (UTC)

adding a citation to a citation needed in the section "International adoption" in reference to SEATO
Aircharter says in reference to the alphabet being used "and military organizations such as the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and the now-defunct Southeast Asia Treaty Organization"
The this articl and the Aircharter one are worded very similarly so one might have gotten the info from the other but I can't figure out which is which.
full paragraph from the Aircharter article: "Between 1927 and 1932, the first non-military international spelling alphabet was developed and adopted by a number of organisations that made changes based on their experiences. They included: the International Commission for Air Navigation, predecessor to the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO); the International Radio Consultative Committee, predecessor to the International Telecommunication Union; the International Maritime Organization; the United States Federal Government; the Federal Aviation Administration; the International Amateur Radio Union; the American Radio Relay League; the Association of Public-Safety Communications Officials International; and military organizations such as the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and the now-defunct Southeast Asia Treaty Organization."
