It is also noteworthy that there are several airports with scheduled service that
have not been assigned ICAO codes that do have IATA codes. For example,
several airports in Alaska that have scheduled commercial service, such as
Stebbins Airport or Nanwalek Airport. There are also airports with scheduled
service for which there are ICAO codes but not IATA codes, such as Nkhotakota/
Tangole/Dwanga Airport in Malawi. Thus, neither system completely includes all
airports with scheduled service.
