An airport code is a three- or four-letter acronym used to identify a particular airport in documents relating to passenger reservations and ticketing as well as flight timetables, luggage tags and air traffic control. You may have noticed three letters on your plane ticket, or next to your departure and arrival city when you’re booking your flight online. But what does that code mean, and how are they assigned?
No two airports are allowed to share an IATA (International Air Transport Association) code, which are used to refer to the majority of commercial airports worldwide.
