Good day Nairalander,
Been wondering why ABJ is tagged ABV when one is traveling and not ABJ. Unlike Lagos which is LOS & Portharcourt that is PHC. Just wondering where the V came from.. Please aviation expert, kindly enlighten us

ABJ was already taken by Abidjan
And Lagos is supposed to be LAG but I think that was taken as well
Only PHC is perfect

I have always wondered too

Los should have been Los Angeles but they are LAX instead where did the x come from
I think once you don't get the suitable abbreviation you can add whatever you like at the end especially the last letter's of the alphabet because those are the most rarely used.
