Transportation Code Explorer
Identify almost any transportation code and explain what it means.
One search box for transportation codes. Paste an airline, airport, callsign, flight number, aircraft type, runway, tail registration, ICAO 24-bit address, UN/LOCODE, railroad reporting mark, or shipping code. The explorer recognizes the most likely type, explains it, and links related identifiers. Great for mystery caches that hide a coordinate behind a code.

Paste a list of codes (one per line, or separated by spaces/commas). Every code is identified and explained in order.
Enter two codes to see them side by side with the shared and differing fields
highlighted. Try OKC vs KOKC, or B738 vs
B37M.
Data: airports and runways from OurAirports (public domain); airlines and callsigns
from OpenFlights (ODbL). Aircraft types, registration prefixes, ICAO 24-bit blocks,
reporting marks and port codes are curated reference tables. Codes are explained for
puzzle-solving; always verify against official sources for operational use.
