Overview

JNB is the IATA airport code stored in this dataset for O. R. Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg, South Africa (ZA). The matching ICAO identifier is FAOR. Travel agents see JNB on tickets, baggage tags, and GDS segment city pairs (six letters, for example JNBLHR when the other airport is London Heathrow). ICAO FAOR is used in flight plans and ATC, not as the two-or-three-character GDS city-pair token. The IANA timezone recorded for local GDS times at this airport is Africa/Johannesburg. This code page explains how JNB is used in PNR text. It is not a live departures board. Terminal maps, contact phone numbers, lounge lists, and published flight schedules are not available in this dataset and are not invented here. Nearby airports stored for South Africa: CPT (Cape Town). Related IATA city code in this dataset: JNB. To turn a booked PNR that contains JNB into a customer itinerary, paste the cryptic text into the PNR parser.

Example
