Construct & validate instance

// Construct a flight designator
const flight = new FlightDesignator('KLM', '645')
> FlightDesignator {
  airlineCode: 'KLM',
  flightNumber: 645,
  operationalSuffix: ''
}
// Check whether it's valid
flight.isValid()
> true

Format flight designators

FlightDesignator.format('u2 0350A')
// Compact
> 'U2350A'
// With spaces
FlightDesignator.format('u2 0350A', true)
> 'U2 350 A'
// With zero-padded flight number
FlightDesignator.format('u2350A', true, true)
> 'U2 0350 A'

var flight = new FlightDesignator('LH', 254, 'X')
// Compact
flight.toString()
> 'LH254X'
// With spaces
flight.toString(true)
> 'LH 254 X'
// With zero-padded flight number
flight.toString(true, true)
> 'LH 0254 X'
