if this has been discussed before i apologise, but i'm really curious to know why most common (or is it all?) canadian airport codes start with Y, and why the 3 letters seldom bear any relationship to the city name....?

thanks!</font>

As I recall the IATA designators are four letters beginnng with CY**. IE: Vancouver CYVR, Old Crow: CYOC etc.
