At the last .aero council (DAC) meeting on June 6th, it was recommended that SITA release 3-letter airport codes (location identifiers) - which have been reserved exclusively for airport use since 2002 - for registration by eligible members of the aviation community on a first-come-first-served basis.

It will serve to illustrate the value of DNS security.
