This is my point ...
All Airports are given an IATA code it is the Code the airport should be known as around the world, I have no problem with London Luton Airport but when people start to use a different 3 letter code for an airport problem start occurring.
One small but significant problem is if LLA becomes the norm and a passenger flys AMS-LTN but his bag ends up somewhere remote a RUSH bag label could be issued to LLA instead of LTN meaning the passenger will be longer without his bag or even worse the bag could just end up sitting in LLA and would never get reunited to the passenger.
