Usage[change source]

This template can be used for any U.S. airport which has a 3-letter FAA location identifier. It assumes that the 4-letter ICAO airport code is the letter "K" followed by the FAA identifier. It currently provides all the same links as {{US-airport}} except for the FAA delay information. Usually airports that don't have this information are used for general aviation (GA), thus the template's name.

To use this on an airport page, add the following under the "External links" section, replacing XXX with the airport's 3-letter FAA location identifier:

{{US-airport-ga|XXX}}

For most U.S. airports, the 3-letter FAA code is the same as the 3-letter IATA airport code. For those where they are different, the template supports a second parameter. In the following example, ZZZ represents the 3-letter IATA code:

{{US-airport-ga|XXX|ZZZ}}

For U.S. airports which do not have an IATA code, use:

{{US-airport-ga|XXX|-}}

Examples[change source]

Airport with same code for FAA and IATA[change source]

{{US-airport-ga|FRG}}

Airport with different codes for FAA and IATA[change source]

{{US-airport-ga|SAW|MQT}}

Airport with FAA code, but no IATA code[change source]

{{US-airport-ga|SMQ|-}}

See also[change source]

{{US-airport}}

  • Use this for airports that have scheduled flights. It includes an "FAA Delays" link that does not work for most general aviation airports.

{{US-airport2}}

  • Use this for airports where the ICAO code is not "K" followed by the FAA identifier. These are usually airports located outside the continental United States such as in Alaska, Hawaii or Puerto Rico. The template name is based on the fact that it allows a 2nd parameter to specify the ICAO code.

{{US-airport-minor}}

  • Use this for airports which have an FAA location identifier containing numbers or do not have an ICAO airport code. These are generally minor general aviation airports. The template excludes those links which do not work for the majority of these airports.

{{US-airport-mil}}

  • Use this for U.S. military airports, such as Air Force Bases, Army Airfields and Naval Air Stations. This template only includes links that work for most military airports.
