}}Jack Edwards Airport[1] {{airport codes|GUF|KJKA|JKA}} is a public use airport in Baldwin County, Alabama, United States.[1] It is owned by Gulf Shores Airport Authority and located two nautical miles (4 km) north of the City of Gulf Shores.[1] Also known as Jack Edwards National Airport,[2] it is included in the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2011–2015, which categorized it as a general aviation facility.[3]

This airport is assigned a three-letter location identifier of JKA by the Federal Aviation Administration, but the International Air Transport Association (IATA) airport code is GUF. The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) airport code is KJKA.[1][4][5]

History

Jack Edwards Airport was originally an outlying field (Canal Field) for Naval Air Station Pensacola. The U.S. Navy sold it to the state of Alabama in 1977 and the new airport was named for U.S. Rep. Jack Edwards. In 1983 the state sold the airport to the city of Gulf Shores. A new terminal was built in 1998 and a runway extension was completed in 2003.[2]
