WAW Airport Code: Warsaw Airport IATA & ICAO

Warsaw Chopin Airport (WAW) is stored for Warsaw, Poland. ICAO EPWA. Timezone Europe/Warsaw. This page does not list live flights, fares or terminals.

Overview

WAW is the IATA airport code stored in this dataset for Warsaw Chopin Airport in Warsaw, Poland (PL). The matching ICAO identifier is EPWA. Travel agents see WAW on tickets, baggage tags, and GDS segment city pairs (six letters, for example WAWLHR when the other airport is London Heathrow). ICAO EPWA 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 Europe/Warsaw. This code page explains how WAW 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 Poland: none stored in this country slice. Related IATA city code in this dataset: WAW. To turn a booked PNR that contains WAW 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 WAWLHR HK1 0945 1510 12OCT E The parser should read WAW as departure. Times 0945/1510 are local as printed, not converted to your PC clock. If WAW is missing from the dataset, city and timezone enrichment stay empty rather than guessed.
