Faktum var att man var tvungen att lägga till ett P för att koden skulle bli unik. Bakom koden ligger helt enkel en matematisk beräkning av möjliga och tillgängliga kombinationer som uppfyller IATA:s regler.

Jag citerar:
The story of Spain's fourth largest airport is little known. When the International Air Transport Association (IATA) went to give the airport its code, it found that combinations similar to those that would derive from Malaga were already taken by other airports: MLG belonged to Malange, Indonesia; MAL refers to Mangole, also in Indonesia; MGA refers to Managua, the capital of Nicaragua; and even MAG, which would still be very recognisable, had already been assigned to Madang in Papua New Guinea.
Instead, experts at the IATA decided to take two letters from the city's name, “AG” and add a third letter to create a completely different code in order to prevent confusion with other international airports.
Out of all the possible combinations, the letter that was found to create a code that fulfilled all the criteria was “P”.
