Mike,
I do not recall having ever seen a 12 hour clock on departure boards. Airports
that I have used include London Heathrow, London Gatwick, London City,
Frankfurt, Paris (Charles de Gaulle), Johannesburg, Amsterdam, Eindhoven,
Madrid, Alicante, Rome (Leonardo da Vinci), Naples, Lagos, Luxembourg, Durban,
Cape Town, Hong Kong, Dublin, Hannover, Geneva, Basle, Edinburgh.
Maybe we just use different airports - you will notice that there are no
American airports in that list.

Really? I've never seen the 24 hour clock used on departure boards for
flights. I've seen it used by pilots yes but never on a departure board. But
it's been a couple years since I flew so maybe it's changed

I've noticed 24-hour time format used pretty regularly in the United States
in
work environments that operate around-the-clock, such as hospitals, public
utilities, manufacturing plants, server farms, etc.
