From my understanding it's more of a "what's the most well known airport". Google LA is in Venice, so it's closest airport should be SMO, it's still referred to

From my understanding it's more of a "what's the most well known airport". Google LA is in Venice, so it's closest airport should be SMO, it's still referred to in corp speak and machine naming as LAX.
- ryanobjc 8y agoThe point of naming convention isnt to be painfully pedantically correct, like this comment. It's to provide a useful guidepost to humans, who know LAX but don't know about SMO. Why didn't you mention ICAO codes, they'd be more universally correct anyways, right? KSMO, KLAX?
