What does YYC stand for?

  1. Calgary

  2. Kelowna

  3. Edmonton

  4. Sacramento

The correct answer is: Calgary

YYC is the IATA airport code for Calgary International Airport, located in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Each airport has a unique identification code that helps travelers and airlines quickly recognize its location. In this case, YYC is derived from Calgary's historical name, which includes the "YY" prefix common for Canadian airports. This context is essential for identifying airports and ensuring efficient operations in airline travel. The other options represent codes for different cities, but they do not correspond to the YYC designation.
