This is confusing and rare, but two airports switched codes in 2019.
On April 6, 2019, the IATA code assignment was switched in our system to accommodate the transfer of carrier operations from Atatürk Airport to the newly built Istanbul Airport. The FlightStats code for Atatürk Airport will remain the same (IST), while its IATA code has changed from IST to ISL. The FlightStats code for Istanbul Airport will remain the same (ISL) and its IATA code has been updated from ISL to IST.
The FS code for IST is mapped to Atatürk Airport:
"airport": {
"fs": "IST",
"iata": "ISL",
"icao": "LTBA",
"name": "Istanbul Ataturk Airport"
The new Istanbul airport is mapped in our system to FS code=ISL:
"airport": {
"fs": "ISL",
"iata": "IST",
"icao": "LTFM",
"name": "Istanbul Airport"
