Airport code

Airport code is an internationally recognized three-digit code used to identify airports worldwide. This code serves as a unique identification system for airports, allowing for quicker and more efficient communication between airlines, passengers, and airport personnel. The airport code is often used in flight schedules, baggage tags, and other travel-related documents to indicate the departure and arrival points of flights. These codes are assigned by the International Air Transport Association (IATA) and are based on the name of the airport or the city it serves. In some cases, the airport code may not be based on the name of the airport, but on an older name or code used for the location. Regardless of how it is assigned, the airport code remains an essential tool for travelers and aviation professionals worldwide.
