[edit] Names and codes
The official name is Noble City International Airport, but it's often referred to as Noble City Airport, Noble International or by its abbreviations, such as NCIA. Because Newhaven International Airport is abbreviated as NIA, the use of NCIA decreased and Noble City International became a more popular name.
The ICAO airport code is PLNC[1] and the FAA code is NCI[2]. The IATA airport code is the same as the FAA code.
