Kim & all:
Aviation uses 24-hour clock every where in the world including the USA.
This leaves NO doubt in any one's mind if we are dealing wih AM or PM, even
while using 12-hour time options.

Last time I was at Sea-Tac (Seattle) International Airport in January,
departure/arrival times were AM/PM.
Few years ago my friend and wife took his father-in-law to Sea-Tac for a
flight. They left in time to have him catch the 6 AM flight, only it was
scheduled to leave at 6 PM! Whoops! :)

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.
Martin

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.
