JP Airline-Fleets International is similar to The Airline Handbook which, as far as I know, is not longer published. Here's the description of JP from the Airliners magazine site: The 40th yearly edition is fully updated for 2006/07.

For each airline the following information is included: codes, previous corporate names, address, telephone number, fax number, SITA address, year formed, CEO, call sign, website address and base. Over 6,500 airlines and over 53,000 aircraft. Includes 72 postcard-size color photos. 8 1/4" x 11". 750+ pgs. SFBD.
