Airport codes, decoded

Look up any U.S. airport by code, name or city, and learn why some codes make no sense at first.

Quick answer

Every airport has a short code. The three-letter code on your ticket and bag tag, like FLL for Fort Lauderdale, is the IATA code. Pilots and air traffic controllers use the four-letter ICAO code, like KFLL. Search below by code, airport name or city to look up any of the U.S. airports open to the public.

IATA vs. ICAO: why airports have two codes

The three-letter IATA code is the one airlines and travelers use. The four-letter ICAO code is what pilots, air traffic controllers and flight plans use. In the lower 48 states, the ICAO code is usually just a K in front of the three-letter code. Alaska codes start with PA, Hawaii with PH and Puerto Rico with TJ. Small airports without airline service often have FAA codes that mix letters and numbers instead.

The stories behind strange airport codes

MCO · Orlando

Orlando International was once McCoy Air Force Base, and it kept the code.

ORD · Chicago O'Hare

O'Hare was built on the site of Orchard Field, so it's ORD.

MSY · New Orleans

The airport started as Moisant Field, on land known as Moisant Stock Yards.

BNA · Nashville

Short for Berry Field, Nashville, the airport's original name.

LAX · Los Angeles

When airport codes grew from two letters to three, Los Angeles simply added an X.

EWR · Newark

U.S. codes starting with N are reserved for the Navy, so Newark became EWR.

Common questions

What is the difference between IATA and ICAO airport codes?

IATA codes have three letters and appear on tickets and bag tags (FLL). ICAO codes have four letters and are used by pilots and air traffic control (KFLL).

Why do U.S. airport codes start with K?

In the ICAO system, the first letter shows the region. K covers the contiguous United States, so FLL becomes KFLL. Alaska and Hawaii use P codes, like PANC for Anchorage and PHNL for Honolulu.

Why is Orlando's airport code MCO?

The airport was once McCoy Air Force Base, and the code stayed when it became Orlando International.

Why is Chicago O'Hare ORD?

O'Hare was built on the site of Orchard Field, and the code comes from that name.

How many airports are in the U.S.?

The FAA's database lists about 19,000 landing facilities, including private airstrips, heliports and seaplane bases. About 5,000 airports are open to the public.
