I’m here and I doubt the value of the addition; because I think it would be costly in terms of both response time for users and for the owner of this site.

As for me personally, I must tell you that I absolutely delight in the world of three letter acronyms of which TLA is by far the King. TLA contributes to why I love aviation - which uses so many. For me it is fun to try to ‘decode’ airport/airfield TLA; and when I can’t, to learn how they got them.

When I was in the Air Force, I trained at GOF (Goodfellow AFB) and Chandler Field/Williams AFB (formerly CHD-now IWA) - soon to be know as Mesa-Phoenix Airport. I flew to and from (t/f) both MCO (Orlando) when it was McCoy AFB Base and t/f Olmstead AFB in Middletown, PA (MDT), now the Harrisburg airport.

BTW, I always distinguish between, and try to avoid using, lowly three-letter abbreviations (tla) as contrasted with Majestic TLA. Thus I do not write 'apt' when I mean 'airport' because it is also used for 'apartment'.

The TLA for the airport t/f you flew ±20 flights last year is ORD, named for the village of Orchard Place, site of a WW2 Douglas cargo plane factory airfield and subsequently purchased by the city of Chicago (CHI) for O’Hare airport.

BTW, I want to point out that most of the airports names cited above honored military pilots.

FYI, N (and W) cannot be the first letter of an airfield name; thus Newark is EWR, Norfolk is ORF and Williams is IWA, etc.

jezsik, I hate to be the one to break the news to you; but each airline also has a TLA (assigned by the International Civil Aviation Organization [ICAO – a FLA (you guess its meaning)] in addition to the two-letter currently most often used. But you may find the TLA to be more acceptable, e.g., WN is SWA (Southwest).

What’s not to find interesting with TLAs? Four of my favorite websites are devoted to TLA:

Best wishes,

kappa - from NYC flying out of LGA, HPN, EWR and JFK (formerly IDL) with a lifetime log of flights - military and civilian - using TLA.
