IXC

IXC is an acronym and code used in different contexts, most commonly in telecommunications and aviation.

In telecommunications, IXC stands for Interexchange Carrier. An IXC is a long-distance carrier that provides intercity and international telephone and data services between local exchange carriers (LECs). IXCs operate long-haul networks, interconnect with other networks, and route traffic across regions or countries. In the United States and other markets, the term distinguishes long-distance service providers from local or regional carriers, with regulatory and industry structures shaping how IXCs compete and bill customers.

In aviation, IXC is the IATA airport code for Chandigarh International Airport, located in the Chandigarh metropolitan area in northern India. The code is used in airline timetables, reservations, baggage handling, and flight tracking. The airport serves the city of Chandigarh and its surrounding region, handling both domestic and international flights.

Beyond these uses, IXC may appear as an acronym for other organizations, projects, or products in different contexts. As with many short codes, the precise meaning depends on the domain and accompanying information.
