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.

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 In British police work the use of 'India' has been replaced by 'Indigo'...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)[reply]
