An IATA airport code , also known as an IATA location identifier , IATA station code , or simply a location identifier , is a three-letter geocode designating many airports and metropolitan areas around the world, defined by the International Air Transport Association (IATA). The characters prominently displayed on baggage tags attached at airport check-in desks are an example of a way these codes are used.
62-651: Albany International Airport ( IATA : ALB , ICAO : KALB , FAA LID : ALB ) is six miles (9.7 km) northwest of Albany , in Albany County, New York , United States. It is owned by the Albany County Airport Authority. ALB covers 1,000 acres (400 ha) of land. It is an airport of entry in the town of Colonie . It was built on the site of the Shaker settlement about 6 miles (9.7 km) north of Albany and stretching north to
124-527: A Convair 240 , was flying Boston - Springfield - Albany - Syracuse - Rochester - Buffalo -Detroit-Chicago when it crashed and caught fire after flying into a series of radio towers in a fog while descending for landing. All 28 occupants on board (25 passengers and three crew) were killed. On March 3, 1972, Mohawk Airlines Flight 405 , a Fairchild Hiller FH-227 , crashed into a house in Albany , on approach to Albany County Airport. The crew had difficulty getting
186-481: A category two instrument landing system approach. ALB was jointly owned and managed by the city and county of Albany until 1960 when Mayor Erastus Corning 2nd ended the city's stake. In 1962 a new terminal building opened. A landside building had ticket counters, a coffee shop, and baggage claim on the first floor and a restaurant, offices and viewing area on the second floor. A single-story boarding concourse extended outwards from this building. In 1968 this concourse
248-567: A new airport is built, replacing the old one, leaving the city's new "major" airport (or the only remaining airport) code to no longer correspond with the city's name. The original airport in Nashville, Tennessee, was built in 1936 as part of the Works Progress Administration and called Berry Field with the designation, BNA. A new facility known as Nashville International Airport was built in 1987 but still uses BNA. This
310-552: A new era of low fare service. In early 2001, CommutAir (now CommuteAir) started to invest in an Albany hub. The hub was to connect a number of smaller cities in the Northeastern United States via the Albany hub. This allowed passengers to travel between cities that lack the demand for a direct flight between them while still bypassing busy, delay-prone hubs in major cities. These flights were operated under
372-508: A new modern airport on the Shaker site near Albany-Shaker Road in Colonie, not far from the original polo fields used as the first site of the municipal airport. The Shakers not only sold the land used but also loaned the use of tractors and tools. The early Albany Airport was often closed and threatened with a closure that prompted repeated improvements in the late 1930s and 1940s. The airport
434-570: A new terminal began on May 16, 1996; it opened in June 1998. It was designed by Reynolds, Smith & Hills and Stracher-Roth-Gilmore, and it was built around the existing terminal, most of which was demolished upon its completion. Only the 1979 extension remains from the old terminal building. In 1999 the Airport Authority began building a 16,000-square-foot (1,500 m) addition to the new terminal for Southwest Airlines' use. The project
496-479: A use. It is unknown if Frontier intends to return to service in Albany in the future. In September 2022, the upgrades were finished and the airport secured a large amount of funding to begin a new project. This project would extend the bridge that goes from the north garage to the main terminal, adding a new feel to walking through or driving under it. It will make space for concessions and retail to appear in those spaces. The project will also improve passenger flow for
558-509: Is GSN and its IATA code is SPN, and some coincide with IATA codes of non-U.S. airports. Canada's unusual codes—which bear little to no similarity with any conventional abbreviation to the city's name—such as YUL in Montréal , and YYZ in Toronto , originated from the two-letter codes used to identify weather reporting stations in the 1930s. The letters preceding the two-letter code follow
620-617: Is available. However, many railway administrations have their own list of codes for their stations, such as the list of Amtrak station codes . Airport codes arose out of the convenience that the practice brought pilots for location identification in the 1930s. Initially, pilots in the United States used the two-letter code from the National Weather Service (NWS) for identifying cities. This system became unmanageable for cities and towns without an NWS identifier, and
682-523: Is different from the name in English, yet the airport code represents only the English name. Examples include: Due to scarcity of codes, some airports are given codes with letters not found in their names: The use of 'X' as a filler letter is a practice to create three-letter identifiers when more straightforward options were unavailable: Some airports in the United States retained their NWS ( National Weather Service ) codes and simply appended an X at
SECTION 10
#1732773280698744-671: Is governed by IATA Resolution 763, and it is administered by the IATA's headquarters in Montreal , Canada. The codes are published semi-annually in the IATA Airline Coding Directory. IATA provides codes for airport handling entities, and for certain railway stations. Alphabetical lists of airports sorted by IATA code are available. A list of railway station codes , shared in agreements between airlines and rail lines such as Amtrak , SNCF , and Deutsche Bahn ,
806-513: Is in conjunction to rules aimed to avoid confusion that seem to apply in the United States, which state that "the first and second letters or second and third letters of an identifier may not be duplicated with less than 200 nautical miles separation." Thus, Washington, D.C. area's three airports all have radically different codes: IAD for Washington–Dulles , DCA for Washington–Reagan (District of Columbia Airport), and BWI for Baltimore (Baltimore–Washington International, formerly BAL). Since HOU
868-543: Is not followed outside the United States: In addition, since three letter codes starting with Q are widely used in radio communication, cities whose name begins with "Q" also had to find alternate codes, as in the case of: IATA codes should not be confused with the FAA identifiers of U.S. airports. Most FAA identifiers agree with the corresponding IATA codes, but some do not, such as Saipan , whose FAA identifier
930-416: Is used for William P. Hobby Airport , the new Houston–Intercontinental became IAH. The code BKK was originally assigned to Bangkok–Don Mueang and was later transferred to Suvarnabhumi Airport , while the former adopted DMK. The code ISK was originally assigned to Gandhinagar Airport (Nashik's old airport) and later on transferred to Ozar Airport (Nashik's current airport). Shanghai–Hongqiao retained
992-571: The Canadian transcontinental railroads were built, each station was assigned its own two-letter Morse code : When the Canadian government established airports, it used the existing railway codes for them as well. If the airport had a weather station, authorities added a "Y" to the front of the code, meaning "Yes" to indicate it had a weather station or some other letter to indicate it did not. When international codes were created in cooperation with
1054-621: The Continental Connection brand using Beechcraft 1900Ds . The flights were scheduled in banks so that passengers would only have a 20-minute layover in Albany between flights, thereby minimizing travel times. At its peak, CommutAir served Allentown , Bangor , Binghamton , Boston , Buffalo , Burlington , Elmira , Portland , Harrisburg , Nantucket , Wilkes-Barre , LaGuardia , Islip , Hartford , White Plains , Manchester , Providence , Syracuse , Rochester , Saranac Lake , Plattsburgh , Montréal , Ottawa . The hub
1116-681: The Mohawk Airlines merger in April 1972 added Montreal, Minneapolis and many New York cities. Houston in 1978, then Florida at the end of 1978 (TPA-MCO-PBI) and Phoenix in 1979. In 1959, Allegheny debuted its first turbine airliner, a Convair 540 , a Convair 340 with the piston engines replaced by Napier Elands . When Rolls-Royce bought Napier it dropped the Eland, so 540s in the United States reverted to piston; Allegheny's last 540 flights were in 1962. The airline bought new Fairchild F-27 Js that
1178-470: The hamlet of Verdoy . It is also located in close proximity to Interstate 87 and State Route 7 . The airport is considered Class Charlie Airspace. Albany International Airport serves as the major air center for the Capital Region, Northeastern New York, and Western New England. In 2019, the airport handled a total of 1,518,969 passengers, which was a 3.6% increase from 2018. Many airlines serve
1240-710: The Allegheny name continued to be used by the parent company, keeping the trademark under US Airways' control. Suburban Airlines was originally headquartered at the Reading Airport in Reading, Pennsylvania , and flew a large fleet of Short 330s and Short 360s , being the launch customer for the Short 360. It had three Fokker F27s , and was the last US operator of passenger F27s. After replacing much of its Short fleet with de Havilland Canada DHC-8 Dash 8s and retiring
1302-481: The Capital Region, they service New York City and Western New York, east–west and north–south. As of October 2020, a new sidewalk spans across Albany Shaker Road from Route 155 to Wolf Road. A pedestrian and bicycle path is also accessible via the new sidewalk at the corner of Albany Shaker Road and Route 155. There is also a small viewing area and park at the corner of Albany Shaker road and the exit 3 ramp off I-87. On September 16, 1953, American Airlines Flight 723 ,

#17327732806981364-646: The F27s, Suburban merged with another wholly owned USAir subsidiary, Pennsylvania Airlines, which was headquartered at Harrisburg International Airport near Harrisburg, Pennsylvania . The combined airline retained the historic Allegheny Airlines name until it was merged with another wholly owned subsidiary, Piedmont Airlines. The subsequent airline retained the Piedmont Airlines name. After retiring earlier aircraft, Allegheny, before and after its mergers, mainly flew De Havilland Canada Dash 8s to 35 airports in
1426-454: The U.S. For example, several airports in Alaska have scheduled commercial service, such as Stebbins and Nanwalek , which use FAA codes instead of ICAO codes. Thus, neither system completely includes all airports with scheduled service. Some airports are identified in colloquial speech by their IATA code. Examples include LAX and JFK . Allegheny Airlines Allegheny Airlines
1488-481: The United States, because "Y" was seldom used in the United States, Canada simply used the weather station codes for its airports, changing the "Y" to a "Z" if it conflicted with an airport code already in use. The result is that most major Canadian airport codes start with "Y" followed by two letters in the city's name (for example, YOW for O tta w a , YWG for W innipe g , YYC for C algar y , or YVR for V ancouve r ), whereas other Canadian airports append
1550-458: The United States. In 1908 the airstrip was on a former polo field on Loudonville Road, 3 miles (4.8 km) north of the city in the town of Colonie . In 1909 the airport moved to Westerlo Island , in the city of Albany, but at that time was in the town of Bethlehem ; the airport was named at this time. The airport was named after Teddy Roosevelt 's son, Quentin, a fighter pilot during World War I who perished while in air combat. A $ 10,000 prize
1612-483: The airline industry saw a series of mergers; after 1989, the US airline industry was dominated by six "legacy carriers": American, United, Delta, Northwest, USAir, and Continental. All six served Albany themselves or by their regional affiliates. During the 1990s, Albany and other Upstate markets enjoyed little low-fare service, and the legacy carriers mostly kept fares high. Southwest Airlines ' entry into Albany in 2000 brought
1674-440: The airport itself instead of the city it serves, while another code is reserved which refers to the city itself which can be used to search for flights to any of its airports. For instance: Or using a code for the city in one of the major airports and then assigning another code to another airport: When different cities with the same name each have an airport, they need to be assigned different codes. Examples include: Sometimes,
1736-418: The airport's former name, such as Orlando International Airport 's MCO (for Mc C o y Air Force Base), or Chicago's O'Hare International Airport , which is coded ORD for its original name: Or char d Field. In rare cases, the code comes from the airport's unofficial name, such as Kahului Airport 's OGG (for local aviation pioneer Jimmy H ogg ). In large metropolitan areas, airport codes are often named after
1798-597: The airport, and will improve the inside of the airport overall. The project broke ground in December of 2023, and is expected to be completed in mid-2025. Between 1946 and 1961, American Airlines, TWA and Colonial/Eastern flew to Albany, but nonstop flights did not travel farther than New York City and Buffalo until 1967. Eastern left in 1961 and TWA left in 1965, leaving Mohawk and a few American flights. The first jets were American and Mohawk British Aircraft Corporation BAC One-Elevens in late 1966; concurrently, runway 1/19
1860-466: The airport, with Southwest Airlines having the most presence. They hold 34% of the total airline share at Albany. Along with Southwest Airlines, Albany sees service with many other low-cost carriers, including JetBlue Airways, Allegiant Airlines, and Avelo Airlines. The airport is the fourth largest in New York State. Albany International was the first and remains the oldest, municipal airport in
1922-559: The airport. You can also pick up a Vermont Translines bus to Vermont and Southern New York. The closest rail station to Albany Airport is Schenectady Amtrak Station in Downtown Schenectady at 10 miles (16 km) from the airport and mainly services western New York and goes east–west. For more rail options, Albany–Rensselaer Amtrak Station is 14 miles (23 km) away and services as the main Amtrak operations center in

1984-502: The code SHA, while the newer Shanghai–Pudong adopted PVG. The opposite was true for Berlin : the airport Berlin–Tegel used the code TXL, while its smaller counterpart Berlin–Schönefeld used SXF; the Berlin Brandenburg Airport has the airport code BER, which is also part of its branding. The airports of Hamburg (HAM) and Hannover (HAJ) are less than 100 nautical miles (190 km) apart and therefore share
2046-604: The company named "Vistaliner". The F-27J was a U.S.-built version of the Fokker F27 . The airline switched to General Motors/Allison turboprops in the Convair 580 which the carrier named the "Vistacruiser", the first CV580 flight was in June 1965. The last DC-3 flights were in 1962 and the last piston flights were in 1967. In 1960, Allegheny headquarters were in Washington, D.C. In 1965, Allegheny announced it would add
2108-543: The cruise lock to disengage in one of the engines. While the crew attempted to deal with the problem, the aircraft crashed short of the airfield, killing 16 of the 48 people in the aircraft and one person on the ground. On June 17, 2024, at approximately 8:15 A.M., a Piper PA-31 Navajo carrying one pilot took off from Runway 19 at the Albany International Airport only to crash minutes later next to neighborhood and library property in Colonie, killing
2170-886: The end. Examples include: A lot of minor airfields without scheduled passenger traffic have ICAO codes but not IATA codes, since the four letter codes allow more number of codes, and IATA codes are mainly used for passenger services such as tickets, and ICAO codes by pilots. In the US, such airfields use FAA codes instead of ICAO. There are airports with scheduled service for which there are ICAO codes but not IATA codes, such as Nkhotakota Airport/Tangole Airport in Malawi or Chōfu Airport in Tokyo, Japan. There are also several minor airports in Russia (e.g., Omsukchan Airport ) which lack IATA codes and instead use internal Russian codes for booking. Flights to these airports cannot be booked through
2232-547: The first jet aircraft type to its fleet—the Douglas DC-9-10 —which the airline stated would be placed into service in 1966. Allegheny then added other jets, notably the McDonnell Douglas DC-9-30 which the company named the "Vistajet". Later jets included Boeing 727-100s , 727-200s and McDonnell Douglas DC-9-50s . The Mohawk merger added British Aircraft Corporation BAC One-Eleven jets to
2294-557: The first three letters of the city in which it is located, for instance: The code may also be a combination of the letters in its name, such as: Sometimes the airport code reflects pronunciation, rather than spelling, namely: For many reasons, some airport codes do not fit the normal scheme described above. Some airports, for example, cross several municipalities or regions, and therefore, use codes derived from some of their letters, resulting in: Other airports—particularly those serving cities with multiple airports—have codes derived from
2356-621: The fleet as well. Allegheny Airlines was also the first airline with a network of affiliated regional airlines, the Allegheny Commuter system, which began with Henson Airlines in 1967. As deregulation dawned, Allegheny, looking to shed its regional image, changed its name to USAir on October 28, 1979. After Allegheny Airlines rebranded itself as USAir , the company retained its earlier name for its Allegheny Commuter service until 1989 when it became US Airways Express . Under USAir, which eventually renamed itself US Airways,
2418-478: The following format: Most large airports in Canada have codes that begin with the letter "Y", although not all "Y" codes are Canadian (for example, YUM for Yuma, Arizona , and YNT for Yantai , China), and not all Canadian airports start with the letter "Y" (for example, ZBF for Bathurst, New Brunswick ). Many Canadian airports have a code that starts with W, X or Z, but none of these are major airports. When
2480-597: The form of " YYZ ", a song by the rock band Rush , which utilizes the Morse code signal as a musical motif. Some airports have started using their IATA codes as brand names , such as Calgary International Airport (YYC) and Vancouver International Airport (YVR). Numerous New Zealand airports use codes that contain the letter Z, to distinguish them from similar airport names in other countries. Examples include HLZ for Hamilton , ZQN for Queenstown , and WSZ for Westport . Predominantly, airport codes are named after
2542-487: The international air booking systems or have international luggage transferred there, and thus, they are booked instead through the airline or a domestic booking system. Several heliports in Greenland have 3-letter codes used internally which might be IATA codes for airports in faraway countries. There are several airports with scheduled service that have not been assigned ICAO codes that do have IATA codes, especially in

2604-461: The maintenance base to Albany in 2014. The main terminal is divided into two levels. Level 1 includes the main check-in area, baggage claim, car rental, and taxi services. Level 2 includes a public waiting area. The security checkpoint leads passengers to a central atrium and all three concourses. Concourse A was opened in 1998. The concourse currently hosts Allegiant Air and United . Concourse B hosts American , Delta , and JetBlue . Concourse C
2666-612: The name of the airport itself, for instance: This is also true with some cities with a single airport (even if there is more than one airport in the metropolitan area of said city), such as BDL for Hartford, Connecticut 's B ra dl ey International Airport or Baltimore's BWI, for B altimore/ W ashington I nternational Airport ; however, the latter also serves Washington, D.C. , alongside Dulles International Airport (IAD, for I nternational A irport D ulles) and Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA, for D istrict of C olumbia A irport). The code also sometimes comes from
2728-572: The new I-87 Exit 3 which will provide direct access to Albany International Airport. The airport is served by major car rental companies Hertz, Enterprise, Budget, and National as well as by Uber , Lyft , local taxi and limousine services. Albany International Airport is served by CDTA Routes 117, 155, and 737. Route 737 provides access to Downtown Albany , while Route 117 provides access to Colonie and Guilderland via Colonie Center and Crossgates Mall . Adirondack Trailways and Vermont Translines also provides intercity bus service to and from
2790-548: The northeastern United States, and eventually Canada, from hubs at Boston and Philadelphia . Its activities and Activities Dash 8 fleet were incorporated into a regional airline, Piedmont Airlines , in 2004. As of October 2023 , an American Airlines Airbus A321 , registered N579UW, is painted in Allegheny colors. It recently was on an Airbus A319 registered N745VJ, before being repainted into standard American livery in March 2023 and US Airways also operated this aircraft with
2852-416: The one they are located in: Other airport codes are of obscure origin, and each has its own peculiarities: In Asia, codes that do not correspond with their city's names include Niigata 's KIJ , Nanchang 's KHN and Pyongyang 's FNJ . EuroAirport Basel Mulhouse Freiburg , which serves three countries, has three airport codes: BSL, MLH, EAP. Some cities have a name in their respective language which
2914-603: The pilot. The plane was headed to Montreal, where the pilot had been returning after a previous landing in Fayetteville, North Carolina . Two members from the Federal Aviation Administration arrived to the scene of the crash along with several police vehicles and EMTs, with members from The National Transportation Safety Board travelling to Albany from Washington, D.C. to investigate. IATA airport code The assignment of these codes
2976-506: The same first and middle letters, indicating that this rule might be followed only in Germany. Many cities retain historical names in their airport codes, even after having undergone an official name/spelling/transliteration change: Some airport codes are based on previous names associated with a present airport, often with a military heritage. These include: Some airports are named for an administrative division or nearby city, rather than
3038-500: The station code of Malton, Mississauga , where it is located). YUL is used for Montréal–Trudeau (UL was the ID code for the beacon in the city of Kirkland , now the location of Montréal–Trudeau). While these codes make it difficult for the public to associate them with a particular Canadian city, some codes have become popular in usage despite their cryptic nature, particularly at the largest airports. Toronto's code has entered pop culture in
3100-515: The two-letter code of the radio beacons that were the closest to the actual airport, such as YQX in Gander or YXS in Prince George . Four of the ten provincial capital airports in Canada have ended up with codes beginning with YY, including: Canada's largest airport is YYZ for Toronto Pearson (as YTZ was already allocated to Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport , the airport was given
3162-529: The use of two letters allowed only a few hundred combinations; a three-letter system of airport codes was implemented. This system allowed for 17,576 permutations, assuming all letters can be used in conjunction with each other. Since the U.S. Navy reserved "N" codes, and to prevent confusion with Federal Communications Commission broadcast call signs , which begin with "W" or "K", the airports of certain U.S. cities whose name begins with one of these letters had to adopt "irregular" airport codes: This practice

As of December 2023, CommuteAir operates several daily flights from Albany to its hub at Washington Dulles International Airport for United Express . CommuteAir also has one of its key maintenance bases at Albany, serving its ERJ-145 fleet. Previously CommuteAir's main maintenance base was located at Cleveland Hopkins International Airport , but CommuteAir moved
3348-443: Was closed from January 1939 until December 1940, when it reopened to traffic during daylight hours only, and then with no restrictions since January 1942. The airport has not been closed (other than for weather and emergency landings) since. The February 1947 C&GS chart shows three 3,500-foot (1,100-meter) runways aimed at 12, 98, and 133 degrees magnetic. By 1950, the primary runway was up to 5,000 feet (1,500 meters) in length and
3410-545: Was completed in 2000 and included the addition of two new dual jet bridges allowing passengers to board and deplane from front and rear doors of the aircraft. Construction started in 2019 for various airport improvements. This includes a new 1,000 car parking garage, which will open in March 2020; new solar panels, escalators, energy efficient taxiway lighting, concessions are also being installed. In addition, some passenger jet bridges are being replaced. Frontier Airlines "temporarily" left ALB in late 2022, leaving gate C1 without
3472-453: Was established for sustained flight between Albany and New York City; Glenn Curtiss achieved this on May 29, 1910. Other early pioneers of aviation that stopped at this early field were Charles Lindbergh , Amelia Earhart , and James Doolittle . Mayor John Boyd Thacher II once said "a city without the foresight to build an airport for the new traffic may soon be left behind in the race for competition". He, therefore, decided to build in 1928
3534-467: Was extended south sometime in 1966–67, from 5,000–6,000 feet (1,500–1,800 m). Before airline deregulation in 1978, most flights at Albany were on "trunk carriers" ( American Airlines and Eastern Air Lines ) and "local service carrier" ( Allegheny Airlines , which renamed itself USAir in 1979). After deregulation, many new airlines expanded to Albany. Most did not survive the 1980s. Airlines at Albany after deregulation include: During 1986–1987,
3596-803: Was founded by du Pont family brothers Richard C. du Pont and Alexis Felix du Pont Jr. In 1949, the company was renamed All American Airways as it switched from air mail to passenger service. On 1 January 1953 it was again renamed, to Allegheny Airlines. Like other local service airlines , Allegheny was subsidized ; in 1962 its revenue of $ 23.5 million included $ 6.5 million in "public service revenue". In 1953, Allegheny's network blanketed Pennsylvania, reaching Newark NJ to Cleveland and Huntington WV. It added Detroit (YIP) in 1956, Boston in April 1960, La Guardia in 1964, Norfolk in 1966, Toronto in 1967, and Louisville-Nashville-Memphis in 1968. The Lake Central Airlines merger in July 1968 added Chicago and St Louis, and
3658-410: Was hard-surfaced. In 1966 and 1967, the north–south runway was extended to 6,000 feet (1,800 m). In the 1980s, the main runway was extended again to the north to 7,200 feet (2,200 m). The east/west crosswind runway was also extended eastward to 7,200 feet (2,200 m) from 5,999 feet (1,828 m) in the early 2000s, but the landing threshold was maintained, thus the available landing distance
3720-450: Was opened in June 1998 as part of the airport's $ 184 million renovation project. Concourse C has three gates, with two currently being used by Southwest , while the other is currently unassigned after being vacated by Frontier . Albany International Airport has direct access to I-87 and New York State Route 7 via Albany-Shaker Road, a 3.3-mile (5.3 km), four-lane boulevard. On August 14, 2018, New York state officials announced
3782-427: Was unchanged because of obstructions to the east, but the full length was available for takeoffs to the west. A few years later, another 1,300 feet (400 m) of the runway was added to the north end of the main runway to bring it to its 8,500 foot (2,600 m) length. The north–south runway gained runway centerline lighting and the north-facing runway added touchdown zone lighting to lower landing minimums - including

The terminal was expanded again in 1979, with the addition of a new two-story building attached diagonally to the northwest. It had boarding gates for Allegheny Airlines on the second floor and baggage carousels on the first floor. The Albany County Airport Authority was created by the county in 1993 with a 40-year lease to operate the airport in 1996. Construction of
