    What is the difference between an airport and an aerodrome?

    Question #126022. Asked by author. (May 24 12 4:40 PM)

    		"An aerodrome is a location from which aircraft flight operations take place, regardless of whether they involve cargo, passengers or neither. Aerodromes include small general aviation airfields, large commercial airports and military airbases. The term airport may imply a certain stature (having satisfied certain certification criteria or regulatory requirements) that an aerodrome may not have achieved. That is to say, all airports are aerodromes, but not all aerodromes are airports."

    What is the primary difference between JFK Airport and LaGuardia Airport in NYC, does one primarily serve only certain destinations, or due to the volume of air traffic to and from NYC, more than one airport is needed unlike other cities?

    When a new airport is constructed for a city to replace the old airport, why does the new airport gets the old airport's IATA airport code? (For example: Nagoya Airport and CHubu Centrair International Airport in Nagoya/Don Mueang International Airport and Suvarnabhumi Airport in Bangkok)
