Airports with other notable legacy codes:
Khujand: LBD, for the former name of Leninabad
Atyrau: GUW, Guriev
Oral: URA, Uralsk
Semey: PLX, Semipalatinsk
Almaty: ALA, for the old name Alma-Ata

along with myriad other transliterations/ artifacts of old names or memorialized figured

Because the administration appealed the ruling making them pay out SNAP, legally there would be a delay anyway, while the next court decided if they have to pay. Per QT, this is the shortest delay possible and quickest path to make them pay regardless
