Overview

PTY is the IATA airport code stored in this dataset for Tocumen International Airport in Panama City, Panama (PA). The matching ICAO identifier is MPTO. Travel agents see PTY on tickets, baggage tags, and GDS segment city pairs (six letters, for example PTYLHR when the other airport is London Heathrow). ICAO MPTO 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 America/Panama. This code page explains how PTY 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 Panama: none stored in this country slice. Related IATA city code in this dataset: PTY. To turn a booked PNR that contains PTY into a customer itinerary, paste the cryptic text into the PNR parser.
