Why is the code for Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen International Airport SAW?
Why is the code for Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen International Airport SAW?
These are IATA codes specified for every airport.
SA is for Sabiha Gökçen and W is only a fill code, a third letter required.
Obviously, codes such as SAG or SGA etc was taken by other airports before Sabiha Gökçen and only a few letters were available as the third letter from among which W was chosen by SABIHA GÖKÇEN.
That is the whole story. 🙂
