I would like to see an option for ICAO airport codes and airline codes to be used in place of the IATA ones.

But I like IATA. Much simpler. However, if we had both that would work well.

Used in place of IATA for? You mean generally as a whole?
An option in settings for airport codes and area to make ICAO airline code and IATA one.

Ah I see that's a good idea, although in reality airlines use IATA codes whereas the more technical and practical side uses ICAO codes.

Dormant and Highly Sarcastic
Only issue: Some airports with ICAO codes don’t have IATA codes, and France often uses Pseudo-ICAO codes with 6 letters, not 4. Also in the US and Canada, they cheat and just stick a K or a C in front and say that’s an ICAO code.
In the cockpit, we use ICAO codes for our FMCs, Charts, etc. IATA codes are used for bookings to popular destinations and airport departure boards because they’re easier to understand with no experience.
Our callsigns are based on the ICAO codes. Sometimes they’re different from the IATA codes for a variety of reasons. For example, BA112 becomes BAW40F and that is what the pilots form their callsigns from: “Speedbird Four Zero Foxtrot”.

I wouldn't mind having all three: IATA, ICAO, and Callsign
