• Airport — a location with an airport.
• Postal exchange — a postal exchange office.
• Multimodal — an inland clearance depot or multimodal function (ICD/dry port).

The "Status" column shows how the entry was approved (for example, Approved by a competent national government agency or Recognised location).
