Jack Edwards Airport (IATA: GUF, ICAO: KJKA, FAA LID: JKA, formerly AL15) is a general aviation airport located two miles (3 km) north of the central business district of Gulf Shores, a city in Baldwin County, Alabama, United States.
Although most U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, Jack Edwards Airport is assigned JKA by the FAA and GUF by the IATA. History
Jack Edwards Airport was originally an outlying 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.
