Hm ja snap de verwarring al. SEL is voor Seoul de code zoals SPL voor Schiphol is maar dat zijn geen IATA codes.
Het moet natuurlijk ICN zijn.

En SEL was vroeger de code van Gimpo, wat nu GMP is. Weer wat geleerd ;)

Here is some information on IATA codes:

IATA airport codes, includes three letter codes for Cities with multiple Airports:

- SEL = Seoul all airports
- ICN = Incheon Airport
- GMP = Gimpo Airport (was SEL prior to the opening of ICN, as the only airport code for Seoul)

- NYC = New York all airports
- JFK = John F. Kennedy
- LGA = La Guardia
- JRA = West 30th Street heliport
- JRB = Downtown Heliport
- EWR = Newark

- PAR = Paris all airports
- LBG = Le Bourget
- CDG = Charles de Gaulle
- ORY = Orly
- BVS = Beauvais

- BER = Berlin all airports
- TXL = Tegel
- SXF = Schonefeld (former East Berlin)

Basel Mulhouse Freiburg Airport, which serves three countries, has three airport codes: BSL, MLH, EAP to indicate each nation.

IATA has made one exception for the nation where IATA was founded..... the Netherlands.
IATA has permitted Schiphol to have 2x IATA codes: AMS and SPL, though SPL is not used for air transport purposes:
- AMS = Amsterdam Schiphol Airport used for all international air transport
- SPL = Used mostly to locate offices at Schiphol East = the original Schiphol location = not used by IATA see https://www.iata.org/en/publications/di ... de-search/?
- HAG = The Hague (with no airport) location of the initial IATA Headquarters, but not used by IATA.

So SEL is a perfectly legitimate IATA code for Seoul, indicating airports of the city of Seoul.
