Description

It's OK - this doesn't involve some sort of domestic pet violence. But this episode title highlights that assigned airport codes can sometimes appear to be something very different than their original intended purpose!

Three-character codes that identify individual airports are critical for managing air travel safely and accurately, but the code an airport ends up with may not make sense when you first come across it, and often reflects much more than the airport's name.

This is a look at how the airport codes we use today - as passengers, travel planners, airline staff, or airport managers - first came about, and we’ll explore a few of the more unusual examples!
