I'm trying to compare a cell array to a single vector.

I'm trying to compare each cell in the first column of an array and then I'm trying to slice the rest of the row, but it says I can't use '==' with cells, I already tried strcmpi(A,B) and that didn't work either. Finally I'm trying to put it in a new matrix as you can see.

DestinationData = {'ATL','DAL','FFT','JBU','SWA';...
    'EWR','UAL','FFT','JBU','NKS';...
    'PHL','AAL','FFT','JBU','SWA';...
    'ORD','AAL','FFT','SWA','NKS';...
    'CLT','AAL','FFT','NKS','III'}
Destionation = 'PHL'
Airlines = []
for col= 1:1:size(DestinationData,1) 
    if DestinationData(col,1) == Destination
        Airlines = DestinationData(col, 2:end)
    end
end

[Walter Roberson]

DestinationData = {'ATL','DAL','FFT','JBU','SWA';...
    'EWR','UAL','FFT','JBU','NKS';...
    'PHL','AAL','FFT','JBU','SWA';...
    'ORD','AAL','FFT','SWA','NKS';...
    'CLT','AAL','FFT','NKS','III'}

DestinationData = 5×5 cell array
    {'ATL'}    {'DAL'}    {'FFT'}    {'JBU'}    {'SWA'}
    {'EWR'}    {'UAL'}    {'FFT'}    {'JBU'}    {'NKS'}
    {'PHL'}    {'AAL'}    {'FFT'}    {'JBU'}    {'SWA'}
    {'ORD'}    {'AAL'}    {'FFT'}    {'SWA'}    {'NKS'}
    {'CLT'}    {'AAL'}    {'FFT'}    {'NKS'}    {'III'}

Destination = 'PHL'

Destination = 'PHL'

strcmpi(Destination, DestinationData(:,1))

ans = 5×1 logical array
   0
   0
   1
   0
   0

[Torsten]

DestinationData = {'ATL','DAL','FFT','JBU','SWA';...
    'EWR','UAL','FFT','JBU','NKS';...
    'PHL','AAL','FFT','JBU','SWA';...
    'ORD','AAL','FFT','SWA','NKS';...
    'CLT','AAL','FFT','NKS','III'};
Destination = 'PHL';
Airlines = [];
for col= 1:1:size(DestinationData,1) 
    if DestinationData{col,1} == Destination
        Airlines = DestinationData(col, 2:end);
    end
end
Airlines

Airlines = 1×4 cell array
    {'AAL'}    {'FFT'}    {'JBU'}    {'SWA'}
