NOTES ON AIRPORT CODES

Because of space limitations in the main table, codes have been used for all airports. Where available, the three-letter IATA codes are used as these will be more familiar to most readers. Where no IATA code is available, the four-letter ICAO code is used. Again, for the convenience of readers, the current ICAO codes are used although it should be noted that the Y series ICAO codes did not come into effect until the 1990s. In these cases, the codes that were in use at the time of Cyclone Tracy are shown in brackets.
