Jalalabad Airport

Jalalabad Airport (OAJL) is a medium airport in Jalalabad, Afghanistan. Pilots and dispatchers reference it by ICAO code OAJL or IATA code JAA. It sits in Asia.

Jalalabad Airport is a regional airport primarily serving general aviation, charter, and corporate flight departments.

Jalalabad Airport lies at 1,814 ft elevation.

Local operations run on Asia/Kabul. 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 inventory for OAJL updates continuously as operators publish new empty legs and one-way repositioning trips. Pricing on each leg is available with a free account, and an inventory alert will email you the moment a leg appears on the route you care about.
