What is IATA?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FcAYI2y93rs
SUMMARY - IATA
The most obvious distinction between the reporting codes used by the ICAO and IATA is very
simple — ICAO codes are four (4) letters, whereas IATA codes are three (3) letters.
Confusingly, many international airports, airlines, and web-based flight radars employ BOTH
ICAO and IATA codes for the same things — making it sometimes difficult to discern the
purpose and distinction.
For example:
O’Hare International Airport in Chicago, Illinois, USA is colloquially known as ORD — the IATA
abbreviation. However, its official reporting code is KORD — the ICAO abbreviation.
Frankfurt am Main Airport in Frankfurt, Germany is colloquially known as FRA (IATA), whereas
its international reporting code is EDDF (ICAO).
ICAO codes are used in place of IATA codes for “official” purposes — such as
with air traffic control (ATC), company flight plans, and airline identification in
case of emergencies.
IATA codes are used in place of ICAO for “commercial” purposes — such as with
airline ticketing, baggage checks, travel itineraries, domestic flight numbers, and
more.
