John F. Kennedy International Airport

John F. Kennedy International Airport carries the IATA code JFK — the three letters printed on boarding passes and baggage tags — and the ICAO code KJFK, used in flight plans and by air traffic control. It serves New York, United States.

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.
