Airport (IATA) Search

IATA codes are an integral part of the travel industry, and essential for the identification of an airline, its destinations and its traffic documents. They are also fundamental to the smooth running of hundreds of electronic applications which have been built around these coding systems for passenger and cargo traffic purposes. This GET call does not have any specific parameters. It enables the user to get a list of all airlines (both LC - legacy carrier and LCC - low cost carrier) together with their codes.
