According to various sources, at the time the code system was being
set up, the Canadian authorities thought it would be a good idea to
have a common first letter for all Canadian airports, and Y wasn't in
much demand otherwise, so they accepted that. Why did they think
that was a good idea? Is there any more to it? I don't know -- there
doesn't seem to be much available in the way of authoritative detail.

Other major airports in Canada -- in each case the city's main airport
-- include:

YEG - Edmonton
YHZ - Halifax
YOW - Ottawa
YUL - Montreal
YWG - Winnipeg
YYC - Calgary
YYZ - Toronto

Another Edmonton airport has YED. In Toronto, YTO is the city code
embracing all airports.

Canada has a fair number of minor airports whose codes start with X or Z
rather than Y, and a few -- presumably newer ones -- with other initial
letters.

There are two types of airport codes: Four-letter ICAO codes used for flight operations/ATC, and three-letter IATA codes used for passenger handling.

ICAO codes consist of a two-letter country prefix and a two-letter airport code. Some countries (those with lots of airports) have more than one prefix. The USA has 26 - KA to KZ. Canada has four, CU, CW, CY and CZ. The vast majority of Canadian airports use IATA codes starting in CY.

(There are some that start in CZ. CU and CW are used for special purposes such as airport met offices.)

For most of the world ICAO codes and IATA codes bear no resemblance to each other. LHR is EGLL, AMS is EHAM, CDG is LFPG.

In the USA and Canada, however, IATA codes are based on ICAO codes.

For US airports the IATA code is the ICAO code without the initial K. JFK is KJFK, LAX is KLAX.

For Canadian airports the IATA code is the ICAO code without the initial C. Hence CYOW = YOW, CYYZ = YYZ.
