ALA Airport Code: Almaty Airport IATA & ICAO

Almaty International Airport (ALA) is stored for Almaty, Kazakhstan. ICAO UAAA. Timezone Asia/Almaty. This page does not list live flights, fares or terminals.

Overview

ALA is the IATA airport code stored in this dataset for Almaty International Airport in Almaty, Kazakhstan (KZ). The matching ICAO identifier is UAAA. Travel agents see ALA on tickets, baggage tags, and GDS segment city pairs (six letters, for example ALALHR when the other airport is London Heathrow). ICAO UAAA is used in flight plans and ATC, not as the two-or-three-character GDS city-pair token. The IANA timezone recorded for local GDS times at this airport is Asia/Almaty. This code page explains how ALA is used in PNR text. It is not a live departures board. Terminal maps, contact phone numbers, lounge lists, and published flight schedules are not available in this dataset and are not invented here. Nearby airports stored for Kazakhstan: none stored in this country slice. Related IATA city code in this dataset: ALA. To turn a booked PNR that contains ALA into a customer itinerary, paste the cryptic text into the PNR parser.

How to use this page

Convert and check that city and timezone match this record.
Use the airport-code page if you only need IATA versus ICAO for ALA.

Example

Example GDS segment using this airport as origin: 2 AI 101 J 12OCT 1 ALALHR HK1 0945 1510 12OCT E The parser should read ALA as departure. Times 0945/1510 are local as printed, not converted to your PC clock. If ALA is missing from the dataset, city and timezone enrichment stay empty rather than guessed.
