Airport Code

An airport code is a unique identifier assigned to each airport worldwide, making it easier to reference locations in travel, flight planning, and logistics. These codes are typically three-letter abbreviations designated by organizations like the International Air Transport Association (IATA). For example, JFK stands for John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York, while LHR is London Heathrow. Airport codes streamline communication, booking, and navigation, reducing confusion across global transportation networks. They are used in tickets, baggage tags, and flight schedules to quickly identify airports efficiently and accurately.
