  • BAM
  • BUM
  • CAT
  • DOG

-icao is mainly used for air traffic control and flight plans, whereas the iata codes are mainly used on tickets and commercial airports. (atleast, thats what i think)

-battle mountain, Nevada, USA
-buttler, Missouri, USA
-cat Island, Bahamas
-Dongola, Sudan
-Fresno Yosemite Intl, California, USA
-Sioux city, Iowa, USA
-San Felix, Columbia

google helps a lot :joy:

SEX is not the IATA code for San Felix (SFX), but a bit closer to home

@pderuiter, I said how often on average is there an aircraft operation. Not how many per day. What is the average frequency of planes taking off and landing at ORD. Sorry if it confused you. :disappointed:

1 Like

average frequency of planes taking off and landing

Frequency is actions/second.
@pderuiter said 2400 flights daily.
On calculation: 0.0277777778 flights/second.

Sorry for the confusion, both are correct and can ask a question. :cry:
