IATA (International Air Transport Association) and ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization) codes are standardized systems used to identify airports worldwide. Here are short definitions for both:

IATA Codes
Also known as IATA location identifiers or IATA airport codes, are three (3) letter alphanumeric codes assigned to airports by the International Air Transport Association. These codes are primarily used in the airline industry for reservations, ticketing, and baggage handling. IATA codes often reflect the city or airport name, but there may be exceptions due to historical reasons or conflicting codes.

ICAO Codes
ICAO codes, also known as ICAO airport codes, are four (4) letter alphanumeric codes assigned to airports by the International Civil Aviation Organization. These codes are used for air traffic control and other aviation-related purposes, such as flight planning, aircraft identification, and communication between pilots and air traffic controllers. ICAO codes are unique identifiers that help ensure international consistency in aviation operations.
