    PHONETIC & IATA CODES

    Because certain letters sound very similar, the


    International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO)
    created the International Radiotelephony Spelling
    Alphabet. In order to be sure that letters are
    pronounced and understood correctly, no matter
    what language is spoken, the aviation alphabet
    helps to avoid mistakes.

    IATA TWO LETTER AIRLINE CODES

    IATA airline designators, sometimes called IATA reservation codes, are two-
    character codes assigned by the International Air Transport Association (IATA)
    to the world's airlines. Airline designator codes follow the format xx(a), i.e., two
    alphanumeric characters (letters or digits) followed by an optional letter.

    IATA THREE LETTER AIRPORT CODES

    An IATA airport code, also known as an IATA location identifier, IATA station code, or
    simply a location identifier, is a three-letter geocode designating many airports and
    metropolitan areas around the world, defined by the International Air Transport
    Association (IATA). The characters prominently displayed on baggage tags attached at
    airport check-in desks are an example of a way these codes are used.
