Which of the following is the IATA code for Manchester Airport?

The story behind the answer

The IATA code for Manchester Airport is MAN—an easy match to MANchester. By contrast, LHR is the IATA code for London Heathrow, while EGCC (Manchester) and EGLL (Heathrow) are ICAO codes used for flight operations, not for tickets and baggage.

Remember: IATA codes are 3 letters (what passengers see on boarding passes and luggage tags), while ICAO codes are 4 letters (what pilots and air traffic control use). In the UK, ICAO codes start with “EG.” A quick memory trick: “MAN” is for MANchester; “LHR” is for London HeatRow (Heathrow). Manchester Airport is one of the busiest in the UK, serving Northern England and many long-haul routes.
