MSP Airport Code

As you travel around by air, you might have noticed that as well as having their own unique names, every airport also has a three letter code to identify it. These codes are known as IATA identifiers or IATA airport codes. Given that airport names are typically quite long and can change over the years, these airport codes offer a quick and easy way to identify each one, and each code is permanent for each airport in order to avoid confusion. Airport codes are typically related to the name of the local city the airport serves, but can also be unique in some cases. The airport code MSP is used for Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport.
