Friends in Canada, Why is Toronto Airport's Code letters YYZ? |
It doesn't relate to the city like say, LAX does. Is there some logic behind this? What is the reasoning please. It's driving my husband crazy (and that is a very short trip). |

The Canadians made off with all the remaining 'Y codes which helps explain YUL for Montreal, YYC for Calgary, etc.

All airports in the World must be reported and governed the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).
Then the ICAO, according to its own internal by-law, makes a "Three Letters" code for that airport that must be followed in all International publications and a huge aviation electronic industry |

The reason is that the first letter 'Y' tells you it is a Canadian airport. Vancouver is YVR. And the YZ tells you which Canadian airport it is. It isn't designed to make names or echo the popular name of a city, just to make a very clear declaration of which airport you are approaching. |

Actually, apart from the initial letter Y, many of the Canadian airport codes do not make sense. By the way, Toronto also has a City Centre Airport and its code is YTZ. But I certainly can't see how you get YXU out of London (Ontario) or YQG out of Windsor (to name only two other examples). |

It is true that all Canadian airport codes must begin with the letter Y. As such, it is hard to come up with "logical" codes for these airports. Many U.S. airports seem not to make sense, but have a perfectly logical reason for their code. Orlando is MCO, because the airport is McCoy Field, Chicago O'Hare is ORD because in the airport's early days, it was located by an apple orchard, etc. |

All Canadian airport begin with Y
It is a big country so they decided to just make everything start with the same letter so they are close alphabetically |

actually there is no logic behind it it could make sense or it could make no sense at all , these codes are assigned by the IATA , to identify different airports , but there no system or whatsoecer to assign the three letter code , cairo egypt is CAI , which make sense , but Orlando Florida is MCO which make no sense i think Toronto is with the make no sense group |
