ICAO-Code

The code of Troll Airfield is AT27 so i wrote it in this page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.123.50.95 (talk) 21:06, 16 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Source? I'm removing it since it appears to be an unofficial code invented by some airport database (possibly this one) Locoluis (talk) 01:43, 16 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Other sources (sorry no links) refer to TROLL AIRFILED as ENTR --Dvazhdydva (talk) 09:27, 6 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The Trondheim hospital helipad has ICAO code ENTR.[1] Antarctic airfields have ICAO codes approved in a semiofficial way, at least the AT-digit codes are like that. Codes with only letters can have been approved through the base owner country. Antarctica is not a country and it can't apply for ICAO itself.--BIL (talk) 08:36, 7 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The ICAO is ENOE as described in AIP Norway GEN 2.4. This is the official source. Flightradadr24 has been notified regarding this error and will correct it soon. 84.215.49.104 (talk) 09:19, 21 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

IATA-Code

QET does not exist according to Codes - Airline and Location Codes Search --Dvazhdydva (talk) 09:31, 6 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

OK - Flightradar24 says it is QAT here and here but it is still not found in the IATA search.Legion23 (talk) 10:55, 6 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

since when flightradar24 became an official source for ICAO/IATA codes? I have a feeling that AT72 is a "kind of antarctic code name" of the station (which is based at Troll Airfield) rather than the airfield as such (again, just guessing hence no amendments but further clarifications are needed) --Dvazhdydva (talk) 06:26, 7 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Flightradar24 is not an official source for this as all their entries require both an ICAO and IATA for their database. I sent an email to flightradar24 support asking if this was an placeholder, to which they responded with "yes this airfield does not have an IATA code, so the code QAT is a placeholder, right." 84.215.49.104 (talk) 09:19, 21 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
