Answer the following question: What is the ICAO of the airport that is owned by Jag Gill and managed by Roger Schmidt ? Return your answer as JSON: {"answer": "YOUR ANSWER"}.

An IATA airport code , also known as an IATA location identifier , IATA station code or simply a location identifier , is a three-letter geocode designating many airports and metropolitan areas around the world , defined by the International Air Transport Association ( IATA ) . The characters prominently displayed on baggage tags attached at airport check-in desks are an example of a way these codes are used . The assignment of these codes is governed by IATA Resolution 763 , and it is administered by the IATA 's headquarters in Montreal . The codes are published semi-annually in the IATA Airline Coding Directory . IATA also provides codes for railway stations and for airport handling entities . A list of airports sorted by IATA code is available . A list of railway station codes , shared in agreements between airlines and rail lines such as Amtrak , SNCF French Railways , and Deutsche Bahn , is available . Many railway administrations have their own list of codes for their stations , such as the list of Amtrak station codes .
The ICAO ( /ˌaɪˌkeɪˈoʊ/ , eye-KAY-oh ) airport code or location indicator is a four-letter code designating aerodromes around the world . These codes , as defined by the International Civil Aviation Organization and published in ICAO Document 7910 : Location Indicators , are used by air traffic control and airline operations such as flight planning . ICAO codes are also used to identify other aviation facilities such as weather stations , International Flight Service Stations or Area Control Centers , whether or not they are located at airports . Flight information regions are also identified by a unique ICAO-code .
