The codes are not unique: 323 of these possible 17,576 codes are used by more than one airport. A List Of Airports sorted by IATA code is available. The characters prominently displayed on baggage tags attached at airport check-in desks are an example of a way these codes are used. While the IATA codes are the most familiar airport codes to airline passengers, the 4-letter ICAO Airport Code s are becoming increasingly common within aviation. All international flights are flight-planned and tracked using ICAO ( International Civil Aviation Organization ) designators, and most GPS databases use ICAO Codes to avoid conflicts with three-letter navigation-aid codes. Many countries, such as Canada , no longer use IATA codes in their official aeronautical publications. Also, a List Of Rail Stations codeshared in agreements between airlines and rail lines such as Amtrak , SNCF French Rail , Deutsche Bahn , Thalys International , and Swiss Rail is available. There is also a separate List Of Amtrak Station Codes which are a set of three-character location codes used by Amtrak for its Rail Stations in the United States and Canada . SEE ALSO EXTERNAL LINKS
