SYD Airport Code: Sydney Airport IATA & ICAO

Sydney Kingsford Smith Airport (SYD) is stored for Sydney, Australia. ICAO YSSY. Timezone Australia/Sydney. This page does not list live flights, fares or terminals.

Overview

SYD is the IATA airport code stored in this dataset for Sydney Kingsford Smith Airport in Sydney, Australia (AU). The matching ICAO identifier is YSSY. Travel agents see SYD on tickets, baggage tags, and GDS segment city pairs (six letters, for example SYDLHR when the other airport is London Heathrow). ICAO YSSY 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 Australia/Sydney. This code page explains how SYD 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 Australia: MEL (Melbourne), BNE (Brisbane), PER (Perth), ADL (Adelaide), CNS (Cairns). Related IATA city code in this dataset: SYD. To turn a booked PNR that contains SYD into a customer itinerary, paste the cryptic text into the PNR parser.

Example

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