It's basically a country thing. Canada's airports all begin with C for the ICAO 4-letter code (and also all begin with Y for the IATA 3-letter code), Japan's begin with R, etc. With the U.S., we just tack on a K or a P to the IATA code to get the ICAO code (MCO becomes KMCO), and with Canada they tack on a C to the IATA code (YYZ becomes CYYZ), but that isn't the case with a lot of other countries. Tokyo Narita's IATA code is NRT, but the ICAO code is RJAA. London Heathrow's IATA code is LHR, but ICAO is EGLL. I much prefer the IATA codes myself. I hate the ICAO codes...lol. [/QUOTE]
