Jalalabad Airport
JAA is the code for Jalalabad Airport, located in Nangarhar province in eastern Afghanistan near the border with Pakistan. Historically the airport has served both civilian and military functions, given its strategic position along a key route between Kabul and Peshawar and its past use by international and Afghan military forces. Jalalabad itself is one of Afghanistan's larger cities and an important regional trade and agricultural center, known for citrus orchards in the surrounding valley. Given the significant instability and shifting control over Afghan airspace and infrastructure in recent years, current scheduled commercial service at JAA should be verified independently rather than assumed, as operations have varied considerably over time.
