Template:Airport codes is used to display an airport's location identifiers or "airport codes". It is usually included in the first paragraph of an airport article, immediately following the airport's name.

Note: This template can be used even if the airport codes are displayed via {{Infobox airport}} (as per Help:Infobox#What infoboxes do, an infobox should "summarize material from an article—the information should still be present in the main text").

Usage

The template requires at least one unnamed parameter.

Code:	`{{Airport codes\|AAA}}`
Result:	(IATA: AAA)

The template accepts six unnamed parameters:

IATA airport code
ICAO airport code
Federal Aviation Administration location identifier (for airports in the United States)
Transport Canada location identifier (for airports in Canada)
GPS code
Civil Aviation Administration of China location identifier (for airports in China)

Using |p=n after the last airport code will remove the parentheses.
