Airport codes

Discover Airport codes

Airport names are often abbreviated by codes, including IATA codes and ICAO codes, that are only a few characters in length. Knowing them can be useful for orientation, booking or conversation. The International Air Transport Association defines a three-letter code for airports and a two-letter code for individual major airlines. These codes, which are intended to be globally unique, are used for ticketing, for booking flights and on baggage tags.
