Airports and cities are commonly identified using three-letter codes. Aviato uses these codes to make departure and arrival locations easier to recognize when searching for flights.
For example:
LHR — London Heathrow
CDG — Paris Charles de Gaulle
AMS — Amsterdam Schiphol
JFK — New York John F. Kennedy
DXB — Dubai International
These are known as IATA codes, and they are widely used by airlines, airports and travel services.
Why does Aviato use them?
Airport codes provide a short and consistent way to identify locations in flight searches and results. They can also help distinguish between different airports serving the same city.
For example, London has several airports, including Heathrow (LHR), Gatwick (LGW) and Stansted (STN).
If you see a three-letter code you don't recognize, you can use it to identify the specific airport associated with your flight.
Airport codes are simply a quick way to know where your flight is actually departing from or arriving.
