88-567: 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

132-555: A period of 30 years. It will be the third commercial airport in the National Capital Region, after Indira Gandhi International Airport and Hindon Airport .

The Central Government cleared

176-509: 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

220-709: Is about 40 km (25 mi) from Pari Chowk in Greater Noida , 65 km (40 mi) from Aligarh , 65 km (40 mi) from Gurgaon and 130 km (81 mi) from Agra .

264-526: Is also constructing a 31-kilometre long (19-mile) greenfield highway from the airport to Sector-65, Faridabad on Delhi–Mumbai Expressway . The proposed plan in Jewar is to build a two-runway airport by 2024, and at a future date, to expand it into a 7,200 acres (2,900 ha) eight-runway airport. According to the plan, the airport will handle 1.2 crore (12 million) passengers per annum initially and up to 6-12 crore passengers per annum, after its expansion over

308-456: Is as follows (east to west): The project was first proposed in 2001 by the then Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh , Rajnath Singh , as Taj International Aviation Hub (TIAH) in Jewar .

The project was revived in 2018 by

352-617: 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

396-533: Is being developed as an alternate to the IGI Airport. The Noida International Airport (NIA) shall be connected with various highways in Delhi NCR like Ghaziabad – Bulandshahr – Aligarh ( NH-34 ) and Delhi–Ghaziabad–Meerut Expressway .

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

484-513: 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).

Most FAA identifiers agree with the corresponding IATA codes, but some do not, such as Saipan , whose FAA identifier

616-572: Is planned to be India's and Asia's largest airport. The Noida International Airport Limited (NIAL) will be the implementing agency on behalf of the Government of Uttar Pradesh . The airport is to be developed through a public-private partnership model (PPP).

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

748-617: The International Air Transport Association (IATA). India's environmental ministry had imposed certain conditions for granting approval for the Noida airport, conditions imposed regarding the protection of Dhanauri Wetlands remain ignored by the Uttar Pradesh government and no action has been taken to designate it as Ramsar Site , its land has been allocated by YEIDA for construction resulting in

792-532: The BJP government, with allocation of ₹ 1,260 crores for land acquisition, to build the airport under the Public–Private Partnership (PPP) model. In 2019, the land acquisition for the phase-1 commenced, which completed in 2020, Flughafen Zürich AG (Zurich Airport AG) was given the contract for developing and operating the airport for 40 years, and the tender for 760 m (2,490 ft) road connecting

836-473: 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 . Hisar Airport Too Many Requests If you report this error to

880-481: 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

The airports of Hamburg (HAM) and Hannover (HAJ) are less than 100 nautical miles (190 km) apart and therefore share

1100-934: 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

The project site

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
