IATA and code
IATA and for
The ICAO should not be confused with the International Air Transport Association ( IATA ), a trade organization for airlines also headquartered in Montreal, or with the Civil Air Navigation Services Organisation ( CANSO ), an organization for Air Navigation Service Providers ( ANSPs ) with its headquarters at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol in the Netherlands.
In most of the world, the ICAO and IATA codes are unrelated ; for example, Charles de Gaulle Airport has an IATA code of CDG and Orly, ORY.
However, the location prefix for continental United States is K and the ICAO codes are usually the IATA code with this prefix — for example, the ICAO code for LAX is KLAX.
) Note that not all airports are assigned codes in both systems — for example, airports that do not have airline service may not need an IATA code.
ICAO also assigns 3-letter airline codes ( vs. the more-familiar 2-letter IATA codes — for example, UAL vs. UA for United Airlines ).
In addition, they ( along with the IATA ) are the body responsible for the standard international codes for airlines, airports, hotels, cities, and car rental firms ( for example, the three-digit codes that designate London Heathrow Airport as LHR ).
