THE'International Air Transport Association (in English International Air Transport Association, or IATA) is an international trade organization of companies of air Transport. It assigns a code (IATA code or AITA code) of three letters to each airport, to major railway stations, located on railway lines in connection with overhead lines. It also assigns a two-letter code assigned to each airline.
Not all aerodromes have an IATA code. Only airports with commercial traffic have it. The ICAO codes (composed of 4 letters) establish a more exhaustive list.
