KIX Airport Code: Osaka Airport IATA & ICAO

Kansai International Airport (KIX) is stored for Osaka, Japan. ICAO RJBB. Timezone Asia/Tokyo. This page does not list live flights, fares or terminals.

Overview

KIX is the IATA airport code stored in this dataset for Kansai International Airport in Osaka, Japan (JP). The matching ICAO identifier is RJBB. Travel agents see KIX on tickets, baggage tags, and GDS segment city pairs (six letters, for example KIXLHR when the other airport is London Heathrow). ICAO RJBB 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 Asia/Tokyo. This code page explains how KIX 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 Japan: HND (Tokyo), NRT (Tokyo), ITM (Osaka), NGO (Nagoya), FUK (Fukuoka). Related IATA city code in this dataset: OSA. To turn a booked PNR that contains KIX into a customer itinerary, paste the cryptic text into the PNR parser.

Example

Example GDS segment using this airport as origin: 2 AI 101 J 12OCT 1 KIXLHR HK1 0945 1510 12OCT E The parser should read KIX as departure. Times 0945/1510 are local as printed, not converted to your PC clock. If KIX is missing from the dataset, city and timezone enrichment stay empty rather than guessed.
