Airport Codes are used to identify airports in a consistent manner. Not every location where an aircraft can land is considered to be an "airport" - in general, only facilities which offer refueling service are considered to be airports.[1]
There are two internationally-recognized sets of airport codes: IATA airport codes are used by airlines and travel agencies to identify where passengers, baggage, and freight are to be sent, and ICAO airport codes are used by pilots to identify the airports where their flights originate and terminate. Both are in use in Fenspace.

IATA Airport Codes for Fen Airports
The International Air Transport Association assigns its three-character airport codes on what appears to be a semi-random basis. Thus, it is impossible to predict the three-letter code that the IATA gives a Fen airport until after it has been assigned.
ICAO Airport Codes for Fen Airports
The International Civil Aviation Organization indicates the location of an airport in its four-character airport code. The ICAO has designated Fenspace as Flight Information Region "X" (for "eXterterrestrial", and because the prefix was available). The three letters following the initial X are assigned depending on the location of the airport – the first of these three letters is area-specific, and is based on the location's English name:
- XR: Mercury
- XV: Venus
- XE: Earth Orbit and Cislunar Space (but not Luna)
- XL: Luna
- XG: Earth-Grazing Asteroids and Facilities
- XM: Mars
- XB: The Main Belt
- XJ: Jupiter sub-system
- XS: Saturn sub-system
- XU: Uranus sub-system
- XN: Neptune sub-system
- XK: Kupier Belt, Oort Cloud, and other Solar System locations beyond Neptune's orbit
- XX: Sol system, not covered by another prefix
- XC: Alpha Centauri system
The special ICAO airport code "XZZZ" is used in flight plans for a Fenspace airport with no location code yet assigned.
Fen Airport Codes
Not every Fen airport has a IATA code. Military bases and other locations where civilian traffic is discouraged are listed with an IATA code of "n/a".
