The <b>IATA airport code</b> is a three-letter code uniquely designating an [[airport]]. These are the characters prominently displayed on baggage tags attached at airport check-in desks.

An '''airport''' is an [[aerodrome]] with facilities for flights to take off and land. Airports often have facilities to store and maintain aircraft, and a [[Air traffic control#Airport traffic control tower|control tower]]. An airport consists of a [[landing area]], which comprises an aerially accessible open space including at least one operationally active surface such as a [[runway]] for a plane to take off or a [[helipad]], and often includes adjacent utility buildings such as control towers, [[hangar]]s and [[airport terminal|terminals]].

A few [[IATA]] airport codes and links to the Wikipedia articles about the airports are given below:

An airport with a helipad for rotorcraft but no runway is called a [[heliport]]. An airport for use by [[seaplane]]s and [[amphibious aircraft]] is called a [[seaplane base]]. Such a base typically includes a stretch of open water for [[takeoff]]s and [[landing]]s, and [[seaplane]] docks for tying-up. An [[international airport]] has additional facilities for [[customs]] and [[immigration]].
