MAA City Code: Chennai IATA Airports
MAA identifies the city of Chennai, India, in IATA coding. Airport codes in this dataset for that city: MAA. A city code is not always the same as an airport code.
Overview
MAA is the IATA city code stored for Chennai, India (IN). City codes group one or more airports. In this dataset MAA is aligned with airport MAA. Some cities share the airport code; others (NYC, LON, TYO) do not. Airport names stored: MAA Chennai International 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

Example
Example: a PNR city pair may use MAA as the airport. If a host screen shows city MAA, confirm it matches this metro before quoting.
