Gautam Buddha International Airport

Gautam Buddha International Airport carries the IATA code BWA — the three letters printed on boarding passes and baggage tags — and the ICAO code VNBW, used in flight plans and by air traffic control. It serves Siddharthanagar (Bhairahawa), Nepal.

IATA codes are assigned by the International Air Transport Association for passenger-facing use; the four-letter ICAO code encodes region and country and belongs to the operational side of aviation.
