ICAO Aerodrome Reference Codes
Few airports publish this information as it does not mean a great deal to most airline operators, it is more of an aerodrome design specification. Most airports do not apply a single Code across all of their facilities. For instance your runways may be Code E for B747s, as well as your primary taxiways. But if you have a pier serving just B737s and A320s it would be wasteful to provide Code E taxiways/taxiilanes (23m wide) in these locations. Most airports would provide Code C (15m wide) at these locations and save the space. The A380 has muddied the waters because very few airports fully meet Code F, not even LHR, jFK, LAX etc. most provide Code E, perhaps with a bit of extra space in places, or partial Code F. Not straightforward, and given the costs of meeting Code F in full, the requirements are being challenged within the industry. Operational experience is tending to show that the A380 can operate safely on Code E or Code E plus a bit more (known as AACG standards). iCAO PANS Aerodromes will address this.
