Why US Airports' ICAO Codes Start With The Letter K

If you've traveled by air, you have most likely seen codes such as 'LAX' or the 'JFK' on your boarding pass or luggage tag. These three-letter airport identifiers are known as the IATA airport codes, and are generally used by commercial airlines when identifying their destinations. ICAO codes, on the other hand, are used more generally in aviation to identify airports and landing strips. These codes are four-letter codes, consisting of a country or region prefix.
