When a city builds a new airport, it gets assigned an IATA location identifier. Each one of is intended to be unique, and typically, it’s based on the name of the airport or the place in which the airport is located. For example, New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport is simply called “JFK”; Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport is “MSP.”

However, the airport in Bihar, India has long struggled with its name. Why? Because the airport, called Gaya International Airport, was given the IATA code “GAY.”

Apparently, this has been such a big concern for locals that multiple efforts have been made to change it, including a proposed compromise in which the code would be altered from “GAY” to “YAG.”

However, IATA isn’t budging, insisting that a name, once given, is permanent.
