DXB is DubaiInternationalAirport, which is Dubai international airport in the United Arab Emirates.
Dubai International Airport (IATA:DXB, ICAO: OMDB:
1. Built in 1959, it is an important hub airport in the Middle East. In 28, more than 34% of the flights handled by this airport went to the Middle East and Africa. The airport is managed by the Ministry of Civil Aviation, and Emirates Airlines is its base airline.
2. In addition, it is the hub airport of Jazeera Airlines and Wataniya Telecom Airlines in Kuwait. As of March 3, 29, about 125 airlines have about 5,6 flights every week to more than 2 destinations in North America, Europe, South America, East Asia, Southeast Asia, South Asia, Oceania and Africa.
what are the rules of the three-character code of the airport?
the basic rule is to use three letters beginning with the city name, which is easy to understand. For example, the airport codes of Sydney, Melbourne and Perth are SYD, MEL and PER respectively. And the abbreviation of Capital International Airport is PEK, and the English in Beijing is Beijing or Peking.
but not all three-character codes are obtained in this way, because there are too many airports around the world, and it is inevitable that there will be duplication. For example, we are familiar with Shanghai Pudong International Airport (PVG). Literally, the three-character code of Pudong Airport should be PUD, but PUD is occupied by Desaido Airport in Argentina. I thought of replacing d with the last letter g of DONG, but PUG was also used, so I could only change u into a similar v.

where does "x" come from?
let's talk about the origin of the "x" in the code. Many passengers know that "LAX" is the three-character code of Los Angeles Airport, but everyone wonders where this "X" comes from. This will go back to the early days of air transport development. At that time, the airport code was named after the local weather station code, so the word code of Los Angeles Airport was "LA".
Later, with the development of air transportation, the two-character code could not meet the requirements of naming, so the airport code developed into a three-character code. Some original two-character codes are changed into three-character codes by adding an "X" at the back, and so is the code "PDX" of Portland Airport.
The reason why the three-character code of Dubai Airport is not "DUB" is also because "DUB" is already the code of Dublin Airport in Ireland. So dubai international airport's code becomes "DXB", and the "X" in the middle is meaningless, just to make up a three-character code.
Canada
Canada is very different. No matter what the city name is, the three-character code of all domestic airports always starts with "Y". This has to start from the early days of the aviation industry, but this time it has nothing to do with weather stations, but radio broadcasting platforms. At the beginning of radio broadcasting, North America was divided into three parts according to geographical areas, and a specific letter of its own area was added before the call sign of the transmitting station in each area. At that time, the area east of the Mississippi River in the United States was "W", the area west was "K", and Canada was "Y".
This explains why the three-character code for Vancouver Airport is YVR, the three-character code for Ottawa Airport is YOW, and the three-character code for Toronto Pearson International Airport is YYZ.
O'HareInternationalAirport has a three-character code "ORD". This is because the airport runway was adjacent to a small agricultural community called OrchardPlace, so the airport was always called OrchardFieldAirport at first, so the three-character code became ORD.
