Overview

NBO is the IATA airport code stored in this dataset for Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in Nairobi, Kenya (KE). The matching ICAO identifier is HKJK. Travel agents see NBO on tickets, baggage tags, and GDS segment city pairs (six letters, for example NBOLHR when the other airport is London Heathrow). ICAO HKJK 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/Nairobi. This code page explains how NBO 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 Kenya: none stored in this country slice. Related IATA city code in this dataset: NBO. To turn a booked PNR that contains NBO into a customer itinerary, paste the cryptic text into the PNR parser.
