CAN Airport Code: Guangzhou Airport IATA & ICAO

Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport (CAN) is stored for Guangzhou, China. ICAO ZGGG. Timezone Asia/Shanghai. This page does not list live flights, fares or terminals.

Overview

CAN is the IATA airport code stored in this dataset for Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport in Guangzhou, China (CN). The matching ICAO identifier is ZGGG. Travel agents see CAN on tickets, baggage tags, and GDS segment city pairs (six letters, for example CANLHR when the other airport is London Heathrow). ICAO ZGGG 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/Shanghai. This code page explains how CAN 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 China: PEK (Beijing), PKX (Beijing), PVG (Shanghai), SHA (Shanghai), SZX (Shenzhen). Related IATA city code in this dataset: CAN. To turn a booked PNR that contains CAN into a customer itinerary, paste the cryptic text into the PNR parser.

How to use this page

Confirm the three-letter token on the ticket or PNR is CAN, not a similar code.
Open the PNR parser and paste the full itinerary that contains CAN.
Convert and check that city and timezone match this record.
Use the airport-code page if you only need IATA versus ICAO for CAN.
Do not copy terminal or lounge claims from other websites onto this page. They are not stored here.

Example

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