CMB City Code: Colombo IATA Airports
CMB identifies the city of Colombo, Sri Lanka, in IATA coding. Airport codes in this dataset for that city: CMB. A city code is not always the same as an airport code.
Overview
CMB is the IATA city code stored for Colombo, Sri Lanka (LK). City codes group one or more airports. In this dataset CMB is aligned with airport CMB. Some cities share the airport code; others (NYC, LON, TYO) do not. Airport names stored: CMB Bandaranaike International Airport. GDS availability and some pricing entries use the city code when the traveller can use any airport in the metro. Ticketed segments still print a specific airport such as JFK rather than NYC. This page does not list every airfield in the metropolitan area, only rows in the catalog. Timezone and ICAO live on each airport page.
How to use this page
- Search CMB or Colombo in the city code finder.
- Open each airport page for ICAO and timezone.
- Parse the actual PNR to see which airport was ticketed.
Example
Example: a PNR city pair may use CMB as the airport. If a host screen shows city CMB, confirm it matches this metro before quoting.
