Nogales International Airport (KOLS) is a medium airport in Nogales, AZ. Pilots and dispatchers reference it by ICAO code KOLS or IATA code OLS. It sits in North America.
Nogales International Airport is a regional airport primarily serving general aviation, charter, and corporate flight departments. The 7,200-foot runway means it is well-suited as a dedicated bizjet field, free from airline scheduling pressure.
The longest runway measures 7,200 ft (2,195 m), a heavy-class field. Representative aircraft that operate comfortably here include the Gulfstream G550, Falcon 7X, and Bombardier Global 5500. In practice this most heavy and super-midsize jets operate here without restriction.
Nogales International Airport lies at 3,955 ft elevation.
Local operations run on America/Phoenix. Without scheduled airline traffic, the field tends to be quieter and more flexible for charter and corporate operations — a useful characteristic for early morning, late night, or short-notice flights that would be impractical at a hub.
SkyAccess currently tracks 418 departing and 424 arriving private-jet legs at KOLS across the next six months of operator inventory. 3 charter operators have run trips through this field in our recent inventory window.
Regional fields like KOLS are a meaningful share of US private aviation — closer to the trip's actual origin or destination than the nearest major hub, with shorter ramp-to-cabin times that are the main reason owners and brokers prefer them.
