International Air Transport Association code
The International Air Transport Association (IATA) code is like a secret code for airports and airlines. Just like you have a special name called a "nickname", airports and airlines also have their own special names that helps them to be identified.
The IATA code is just three letters that represent the name of the airport or airline. For example, the IATA code for John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York is JFK.
This code is very important for people who work in the travel industry such as pilots, flight attendants, and air traffic controllers. It helps them to understand which airport or airline is being referred to quickly and easily.
