"and the IATA seems to be moving in adoption of the Aztec Code as well:"

A couple of months ago the IATA seemed to be ambivalent regarding which type of code, which is good, at least they're not ruling out Aztec.

2.1.2 Electronic (Mobile) Boarding Pass

The Bar Codes presented here are 2-dimensional bar codes in Aztec, Datamatrix and QR code formats containing a structured data message (SDM). Airlines are free to choose one of the three presented Bar Code formats.

The Datamatrix message as defined in ISO/IEC 16022 contains fixed-length fields and variable-length data that can be used by airlines at their discretion.

The QR message as defined in ISO/IEC 18004 contains fixed-length fields and variable-length data that can be
used by airlines at their discretion.

The Aztec message as defined in ISO/IEC 24778
contains fixed-length fields and variable-length data that
can be used by airlines at their discretion.

Aztec, Datamatrix and QR permit flexibility in the size, readability, robustness and capacity of Bar Codes.
