How to appoint airport codes?
For airports, IATA codes are usually appointed using the first three letters of the city or the name of the airport (for example: Bom for Delhi Airport Del and former name for Mumbai Airport after Bombay). In some cases, codes can withstand a historical name. However, the code must be unique to ensure the safety of air travel. Airport coding began in the 1930s and moved to three -letter codes in the 1940s.
