Which term is used to identify airports by a standardized three-letter code?

• A. Cabin
• B. Bulkhead
• C. Cockpit
• D. Airport Code

Answer: (D)

An airport code is the label used to identify airports in a standardized way. For everyday travel, the three-letter IATA code is that standard: it’s the shorthand you see on tickets, boarding passes, and baggage tags (like LAX or JFK). The term described here is simply airport code, which covers that recognizable three-letter identifier. The other terms refer to parts of the aircraft and not to airport identification. There’s also a separate four-letter ICAO system used mainly for aviation operations, but it’s not the three-letter code the question is asking about.
