DTW City Code: Detroit IATA Airports
DTW identifies the city of Detroit, United States, in IATA coding. Airport codes in this dataset for that city: DTW. A city code is not always the same as an airport code.
Overview
DTW is the IATA city code stored for Detroit, United States (US). City codes group one or more airports. In this dataset DTW is aligned with airport DTW. Some cities share the airport code; others (NYC, LON, TYO) do not. Airport names stored: DTW Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport. GDS availability and some pricing entries use the city code when the traveller can use any airport in the metro. Ticketed segments still print a specific airport such as JFK rather than NYC. This page does not list every airfield in the metropolitan area, only rows in the catalog. Timezone and ICAO live on each airport page.
How to use this page
- Search DTW or Detroit in the city code finder.
- Open each airport page for ICAO and timezone.
- Parse the actual PNR to see which airport was ticketed.
Example
Example: a PNR city pair may use DTW as the airport. If a host screen shows city DTW, confirm it matches this metro before quoting.
