Los códigos de aeropuerto más raros y divertidos

Última actualización: 28 de June de 2026 · Por el equipo AirportCodesDB

Airport codes are usually straightforward abbreviations — but some are hilariously confusing, accidentally rude, or just plain weird.

😂 The Funniest Airport Codes

FUK

Fukuoka, Japan — A perfectly normal abbreviation of the city name. One of Japan's busiest airports with 25M+ passengers annually.

SIN

Singapore — Not sinful at all. Changi Airport is consistently voted the world's best airport by Skytrax.

BOM

Mumbai, India — Not explosive! The code comes from the city's former name "Bombay." Despite the 1995 rename, the code stuck.

DIK

Dickinson, North Dakota, USA — Named after the city. A small regional airport in the Badlands.

SUX

Sioux City, Iowa, USA — The city actually tried to change it but couldn't. They embraced it with the slogan "FLY SUX."

BRR

Barra, Scotland — Located in the windy Outer Hebrides, the code suits the chilly climate perfectly. Planes land on the beach!

GOD

Gondar, Ethiopia — Named after the historic city once called the "Camelot of Africa."

BAD

Barksdale AFB, Louisiana, USA — Named after Lt. Eugene Barksdale, a WWI aviator. Despite the code, it's a major USAF base.
