To be fair, although perhaps a bit impenetrable to outsiders, pretty much everyone I know uses airport codes almost exclusively to refer to cities in texts... or made-up TLAs like JKT for Jakarta when the airport code (CGK) is non-obvious.

It's just a habit and I'm sure the GP didn't intend to be obtuse.
