'''IATA codes''' are abbreviations that the [[International Air Transport Association]] (IATA) publishes to facilitate [[air travel]]. They are typically 1, 2, 3, or 4 character combinations (referred to as [[unigram]]s, [[Bigram|digrams]], [[trigram]]s, or [[wikt:tetragram|tetragram]]s, respectively) that uniquely identify locations, equipment, companies, and times to standardize international flight operations. All codes within each group follow a pattern (same number of characters, and using either all letters or letter/digit combinations) to reduce the potential for error.
