Random Airport Generator: 150 Airports With IATA and ICAO Codes: how it works

Pick a random airport yourself and you land at the hubs you already know. This random airport generator draws five at a time from 150 major passenger airports. Each card gives the IATA and ICAO codes, city, coordinates and elevation, and nothing repeats until all 150 have come up.

Two airports make a route, one code makes a quiz

For a flight simulator, set the count to 2: the first card is the departure, the second the arrival. Lock the departure and press again for a new destination. For a quiz, press Hide all airports. Each card keeps its flag and three-letter code and covers the rest until you tap Show airport. Cities with 2+ airports is the hard round: try telling LGW from STN, or HND from NRT.

How the 150 airports were chosen

OurAirports, an open data project, lists 1,149 large airports with scheduled flights and an IATA code. Each continent gets seats in proportion to its share, from 54 for Asia down to 6 for Oceania. Seats go to the highest 2024 passenger totals in Wikipedia's regional lists. So this is a fair spread, not a top 150: Dar es Salaam is in, while Salt Lake City, far busier, just missed.

Tips

  • Tap Above 1,000 m for the ten highest airports. El Dorado in Bogotá tops them at 8,361 ft. Add Africa and three are left: Addis Ababa, Johannesburg and Nairobi.
  • Codes outlive names. ORD is Orchard Field, the 1940s name of Chicago O'Hare. MCO is McCoy Air Force Base, at Orlando until 1975. LED is Leningrad.
  • Draw 10 and sort them north to south. Oslo Gardermoen, at latitude 60.19, and Melbourne, at minus 37.67, are the ends. The Country list holds 55 countries, and #country=japan opens on Japan's five.

Questions and answers

Why is Gran Canaria under Africa?

Continents follow the runway, not the flag. The five Canary Islands airports lie off Morocco, so they count as Africa, though Spanish. Honolulu counts as Oceania. Istanbul is split: Istanbul Airport is in Europe and Sabiha Gökçen across the Bosphorus in Asia.

What is the difference between IATA and ICAO codes?

The IATA code has three letters and goes on tickets and bag tags: JFK, LHR, SIN. The ICAO code has four and is used by pilots and controllers: KJFK, EGLL, WSSS. Its first letters show the region: K for the mainland United States, EG for the United Kingdom, Z for mainland China.

Where does the airport data come from?

Codes, coordinates and elevations come from OurAirports, checked 18 September 2026. One name was corrected by hand: Accra's airport dropped the name Kotoka in February 2026. Passenger totals change yearly, so they decide which airports are listed but are not printed.

How this list was compiled: Airport records (name, IATA and ICAO codes, city, country, coordinates, elevation, continent) are from OurAirports open data, public domain, https://ourairports.com/data/ , file https://davidmegginson.github.io/ourairports-data/airports.csv , downloaded and checked 2026-09-18 (the file's last-modified stamp read 2026-09-19 01:54 GMT). How the 150 rows were chosen: OurAirports holds no traffic figures, so the list starts from every record with type large_airport, scheduled_service yes and an IATA code, which is 1149 airports. Each continent gets seats in proportion to its share of those 1149, by largest remainder: Asia 54, Europe 33, North America 24, Africa 22, South America 11, Oceania 6. A continent is the OurAirports continent field, which follows where the runway is, not the flag: the five Canary Islands airports count as Africa, Honolulu as Oceania, Istanbul Airport as Europe, and Sabiha Gokcen and Antalya as Asia. Seats are filled in order of the 2024 passenger totals given in Wikipedia's regional lists: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_the_busiest_airports_in_Europe , https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_the_busiest_airports_in_Asia , https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_the_busiest_airports_in_the_Middle_East , https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_the_busiest_airports_in_Africa , https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_the_busiest_airports_in_North_America , https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_the_busiest_airports_in_Latin_America and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_the_busiest_airports_in_Japan (for New Chitose). Oceania's list is years out of date, so its six seats use https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_the_busiest_airports_in_Australia (government BITRE figures for 2024-25), https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_busiest_airports_in_New_Zealand (2025) and Honolulu's 2024 total from the North America list. All lists read 2026-09-18. An airport that those lists leave out cannot be picked however busy it is (Mauritius is one), so this is a traffic-ranked sample, not an official top 150, and no passenger figure is printed on a card. Last airports in and first out: Asia Chennai then Naha; Europe Budapest then Milan Bergamo; North America Cancun then Salt Lake City; Africa Dar es Salaam then Reunion; South America Belo Horizonte then Buenos Aires Ezeiza; Oceania Perth then Adelaide. Display names are the OurAirports names, shortened where they run past a card line (x.ourairportsName keeps the original); cities are the city served. One name was corrected against https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accra_International_Airport : Accra's airport dropped the name Kotoka on 23 February 2026 and OurAirports still had the old one. 105 of the 150 IATA codes also appear beside the same airport in one of the Wikipedia lists (x.iataSeenOnWikipediaList); the Europe, North America, Latin America and Japan lists print no codes. The four code origins in x.codeNote were checked against each airport's Wikipedia article; the three named in the page's second tip are https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O%27Hare_International_Airport (ORD, Orchard Field), https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orlando_International_Airport (MCO, McCoy Air Force Base) and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulkovo_Airport (LED, Leningrad), read 2026-09-18. x.clue repeats the IATA code and is what stays in sight when the visitor hides the airport names for a quiz. Elevations in metres are converted from the OurAirports figure in feet. The groups 'Cities with 2+ airports' (x.metro), 'Above 1,000 m' (3,281 ft or more) and 'Southern hemisphere' (latitude below zero) are computed from the rows.
