Gaya’s GAY airport code sparks unease but can’t be altered
The Indian government has declined a request to change Gaya International Airport's code 'GAY', citing International Air Transport Association (IATA) protocols. The aviation minister stated that codes are only altered if they pose a safety risk, and 'GAY' was assigned based on the airport's location name.
