CTU Airport Code: Chengdu Airport IATA & ICAO

Chengdu Tianfu International Airport (CTU) is stored for Chengdu, China. ICAO ZUTF. Timezone Asia/Shanghai. This page does not list live flights, fares or terminals.

Overview

CTU is the IATA airport code stored in this dataset for Chengdu Tianfu International Airport in Chengdu, China (CN). The matching ICAO identifier is ZUTF. Travel agents see CTU on tickets, baggage tags, and GDS segment city pairs (six letters, for example CTULHR when the other airport is London Heathrow). ICAO ZUTF 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 CTU 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), CAN (Guangzhou). Related IATA city code in this dataset: CTU. To turn a booked PNR that contains CTU into a customer itinerary, paste the cryptic text into the PNR parser.

Use the airport-code page if you only need IATA versus ICAO for CTU.

Example

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