When you see a segment line like this in a PNR, the airline code identifies AirAsia:
2 AK 587 Y 15JUL 2*JFKLHR HK1 800A 2000P
The two-letter code AK at the start of the segment line is AirAsia's IATA code — every flight segment operated by AirAsia in a GDS PNR (Amadeus, Sabre, Galileo, or Worldspan) begins with this code, followed by the flight number.
