How current are the airport codes and classifications?

IATA and ICAO codes are generally stable but can change with rebranding or administrative updates, and an airport’s classification (international, regional, private) can shift as services evolve.

Can I use the listed codes to book flights or track flights?

Yes—use IATA codes for booking and most passenger-facing searches, and ICAO codes for flight tracking or technical references. They work on airline sites and booking engines, but always double-check schedules and terminal info with your carrier.
