The Lake Providence airport uses which identifier?

Airport identifiers come in a few systems, but the one you’ll use most on charts and in flight planning for U.S. fields is the FAA location identifier—the three-letter code assigned to the airport. For Lake Providence, that official FAA LID is BLE, and you’ll see BLE on sectional charts, in the Airport/Facility Directory, and in flight plans referring to Lake Providence. The other codes don’t match the airport’s FAA identifier. A four-letter code starting with K would be the ICAO code, which for this airport would be KBLE, not KGWO or KVKS. A code like 0M8 is a different, non-matching identifier. So BLE is the identifier associated with Lake Providence on FAA sources and charts.
