You will find Waterloo, Iowa. The signs at the airport in Calgary say Kitchener. It used to be the same in Chicago.
That made me want to remind myself what the airport is actually called. According to their website, they are the “Region of Waterloo International Airport”. So the airlines are wrong and should start calling the airport by its correct name. Did it used to be called “Kitchener”? I note that the YKF code appears to be based on “Kitchener”, although I don’t know where the “F” comes from.
Many airports don’t include the city name so that would preclude a consistent standard.
