The Assembly of Nations Agency for Civil Aviation (ANACA) is an agency of the Assembly of Nations that codifies and standardizes the different aspects of international civil air navigation. As an organization that is part of the Assembly of Nations, every AN member is automatically a member of the ANACA. The organizations also administers civilian aircraft registration prefixes.
ANACA-Code
The ANACA-Code is a four-letter code system used worldwide for airports dedicated to civil aviation. The first letter refers to a geographic region (see map), the second letter to the country where the airport is located. The third and fourth letters are used differently, but most countries use a two-letter abbreviation of the respective airport here. The ANACA-Code (four-letter) must not be confused with the WAAT (former IAT) code system (three letter). In most countries, ANACA and WAAT codes are unrelated. However, some countries opt by using as the ANACA-Code the first "region letter" followed by the three letters of the WAAT code system. Note that not all airports are assigned codes in both systems; for example, airports that do not have airline services might not have a WAAT code. ANACA-Codes, on the other hand, are mandatory to every kind of airport.
Prefixes
Country codes are only used by countries which have several large airports.
Headquarters
The headquarters of ANACA are located in Malojdeh, the capital of Neo Delta. The architecture of the building was designed to look like an airplane and it is open for public visitation. It is composed by an administrative center, a library and a museum.
