The Difference Between YTO and YYZ at the Airport

The International Air Transport Association (IATA), the international trade body representing most of the world's airlines, uses three-letter location codes for cities and airports. In Toronto, Canada, different codes are used for individual airports and the city itself. Four-letter airport codes have also been established by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), an agency of the United Nations whose mandate includes ensuring the safe, efficient and orderly evolution of civil aviation.

Toronto Airport Codes

    The IATA identifies Toronto Pearson International Airport with the three-letter airport code YYZ. This code is used to identify the airport on airline timetables, tickets and luggage tags. The ICAO identifies Pearson Airport with the four-letter airport code CYYZ, which would be seen and heard at the airport's air traffic control tower and on airline flight plans. Other airports in Toronto are assigned different codes, such as YTZ and CYTZ for Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport.

Toronto City Code

    In addition to individual airport codes, the IATA maintains codes to identify airports within a city or metropolitan area. The ICAO does not use unique codes to identify metropolitan areas. The IATA city code for the Toronto metropolitan area is YTO. The code includes Pearson International Airport (YYZ and CYYZ), Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport (YTZ and CTYZ), Buttonville Municipal Airport (YKZ and CYKZ) and John C. Munro Hamilton International Airport (YHM and CYHM).
