Hi all,
I have noticed that Bagram airport is using KQSA as ICAO aerodrome code although it is in Afghanistan.
What I know is that the first letter of four letter ICAO code is the region where the airport is, the second is the country code, then the last two letters is for the airport.
Why is Bagram using K (which is for the US) out side US and not using OA ( which is for Afghanistan)?
Are there any other airports worldwide that use odd ICAO codes?
Thank you
