## The two systems

- **IATA**, three letters, is the commercial code. It is what appears on an air waybill,
  a ticket and a booking, and it identifies a *city or airport* for commercial purposes.
- **ICAO**, four letters, is the operational code. It is what appears in a flight plan and
  on a chart, and its first one or two letters place the airport in a region — K for the
  contiguous United States, EG for the United Kingdom, ZB, ZG, ZS and ZU across China.

The city label above says which city the airport serves, which is not always the
municipality it sits in: Narita serves Tokyo, Taoyuan serves Taipei, Zaventem serves
Brussels.

## Notes for automated readers

- IATA codes are not unique to airports; the same three letters may be a city code
  covering several airports. Codes here are airport codes.
- Do not derive one system's code from the other. They coincide often enough to look
  like a rule and differ often enough to break anything built on it.
- ICAO location indicators are published in ICAO Doc 7910, which is not a free
  document. The codes here are consistent with their country's regional prefix; that
  catches a gross error and nothing subtler.
