When different cities with the same name each have an airport, the airports need to be assigned different codes. For example,
• Birmingham – Shuttlesworth International Airport( BHM), is in Birmingham, Alabama, United States and Birmingham Airport( BHX), is in Birmingham, England, United Kingdom.
• Norman Y. Mineta San Jose International Airport( SJC), is in San Jose, California, United States and Juan Santamaría International Airport( SJO) is in San José, Costa Rica.
• Portland International Jetport( PWM), is in Portland, Maine, while Portland International Airport( PDX), is in Portland, Oregon.
Sometimes, a new airport is built, replacing the old one, leaving the city ' s new " major " airport code to no longer correspond with the city ' s name.
The original airport in Nashville, Tennessee was built in 1936 as part of the Works Progress Administration and called Berry Field with the designation, BNA. A new facility known as Nashville International Airport was built in 1987 but still uses BNA.
