Overview

SJO is the IATA airport code stored in this dataset for Juan Santamaría International Airport in San Jose, Costa Rica (CR). The matching ICAO identifier is MROC. Travel agents see SJO on tickets, baggage tags, and GDS segment city pairs (six letters, for example SJOLHR when the other airport is London Heathrow). ICAO MROC 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 America/Costa_Rica. This code page explains how SJO 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 Costa Rica: none stored in this country slice. Related IATA city code in this dataset: SJO. To turn a booked PNR that contains SJO into a customer itinerary, paste the cryptic text into the PNR parser.
