IATA vs ICAO airport codes

The IATA code is the 3-letter code assigned by the International Air Transport Association — the one printed on tickets, bag tags and departure boards (LHR, JFK, DXB). The ICAO code is the 4-letter code from the International Civil Aviation Organization, used by pilots, air traffic control and weather reports such as METARs. ICAO codes follow a regional pattern: UK airports start with EG (Heathrow is EGLL), airports in the contiguous United States usually add a K to the IATA code (JFK becomes KJFK), and Canadian ones start with C (Toronto Pearson is CYYZ).

What the airport card shows

For each airport you get the name, city, country, IATA and ICAO codes, coordinates in degrees-minutes-seconds and decimal format, elevation in feet and metres, the IANA time zone and the current local time. Where runway data exists, every runway is listed with its designator, length in metres and feet, and surface (asphalt, concrete, grass and so on). A link opens the airport in OpenStreetMap. The search runs entirely in your browser, so nothing you type is sent anywhere.

Data source and coverage

The search covers 3,244 airports with an IATA code and scheduled service from the public-domain OurAirports database, with time zones from the MIT-licensed mwgg/Airports dataset. 337 major airports also have their own pages with full runway details and distances to the nearest other major airports. Codes and runway data change from time to time, so always use the official AIP for operational purposes.
