Albert J Ellis is in Jacksonville, North Carolina. The field elevation is 92.9 ft MSL. KOAJ has one runway, 05/23, at 7,100 ft. The airport has a control tower. Tower hours are 0700 to 2200. An ILS is published for runway 05. Pattern altitude is not published, so plan to verify the current traffic pattern altitude before arrival.

Skyport Aviation is on the field. It carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. Call the FBO directly at (910) 324-2500 for current service details. Published remarks also note that MALSR is on runway 05.

This is a controlled field with a single long runway. That helps with performance planning. The published remarks also note restricted access for some military and unscheduled air carrier operations. If you are operating anything unusual, call the airport manager before you go. Field conditions are not monitored from 0000 local time to 0500 local time daily. Check the airport or FBO directly if you are arriving in that window.
