What does the airport code TUS stand for?

  1. Tulsa

  2. Tuxtla

  3. Tuscaloosa

  4. Tuscon

The correct answer is: Tulsa

The airport code TUS stands for Tucson, which is located in the state of Arizona. Each airport has a unique three-letter code assigned by the International Air Transport Association (IATA) to help identify airports easily and efficiently. Tucson International Airport is commonly referred to by its IATA code, TUS. This allows travelers and airlines to communicate about airport locations more clearly without confusion, especially since city names can sometimes be similar. Tulsa, which is in Oklahoma, is represented by a different code (TUL), Tuxtla is not commonly associated with any major airport under the TUS code, and Tuscaloosa in Alabama does not have the TUS designation either. Therefore, Tucson is the only city correctly represented by the code TUS.
