About findairportcode.com
findairportcode.com is a free airport code lookup tool built for one job: answering "what's the IATA code for this airport?" — or the ICAO code, the coordinates, the elevation, the local time, today's weather, or the closest alternate airport — as fast as you can type three letters into a search box.

Growing coverage, updated weekly
findairportcode.com currently has full pages live for 4,585 airports, on the way to covering all 4,560 major and medium-sized airports worldwide. New airports are added on an ongoing basis — weekly at a minimum, often faster — until the full set is published. If an airport isn't listed yet, it's on the list, not left out for good.
What you can look up
Every airport page on findairportcode.com brings together the details that scattered Wikipedia pages, PDF charts, and airline booking forms usually make you hunt for separately:
- IATA code and ICAO code — the 3-letter code printed on boarding passes and baggage tags, and the 4-letter code used by pilots, air traffic control, and flight-planning software.
- Coordinates and elevation — exact latitude, longitude, and airfield elevation above sea level.
- Runways — length, width, and surface type for every runway at the airport.
- Radio frequencies — ATIS, tower, ground, approach, and departure frequencies where published.
- Local time and live weather — the airport's current time zone and real-time conditions at a glance.
- Nearby airports — the closest alternates, ranked by distance, useful for diversions, regional trip planning, or simply confirming you've found the right airport in a city with more than one.
- Distance and flight time calculator — type any two airport codes to get the great-circle distance and an estimated flight duration between them.
Who finds this useful
findairportcode.com is built for two overlapping audiences: everyday travelers and the civil aviation community. On the everyday side — travel agents and frequent flyers who need an unfamiliar IATA code while booking a multi-city itinerary, cargo and logistics teams matching a 3-letter code on a waybill to an actual city, students, journalists, and anyone who has ever stared at a boarding pass or customs form wondering what a three-letter airport code actually stands for. On the aviation side — pilots and student pilots cross-checking a frequency or runway length, dispatchers and flight planners, and aviation enthusiasts or flight-simulator pilots looking up ICAO identifiers. If you've ever typed "what airport is [code]" into a search engine, this site exists to answer that in one page load.
