IATA (International Air Transport Association) codes are an integral element of the travel industry, essential for identifying airlines, their destinations and official traffic documents. IATA publishes an updated list of airport codes twice a year in the IATA Airline Coding Directory. IATA codes are basically abbreviations made up of 3 letters, each identifying a specific airport. Also called the IATA location identifier, IATA station code or location identifier, they’re also displayed prominently on the luggage tags attached at the airport check-in desk, to help make sure your stuff arrives at the right destination.
There are 24 commercial international airports in the United Kingdom plus countless domestic and private airfields. Here is a list of IATA airport codes for all of them. Also, M-RED Logistics can provide fast and reliable AOG service for most of the airports.
