Using AWA on air freight documents

The three-letter IATA code AWA is what goes on an air waybill, a booking and a flight schedule for Hawassa International Airport; the four-letter ICAO code HALA identifies the same airport in flight plans and air-traffic control and does not appear on cargo paperwork. A forwarder quotes airport-to-airport between two IATA codes unless the booking is door-to-door, so the code fixes where the rate applies.

Schedule D codes are a US-only system, so AWA has none. If AWA is your origin, the code that matters at the border is the one for your US airport of entry โ€” every US airport page in this tool shows it where the Census list names the airport.
