How to Fly from OAJ

Two Great Airlines

OAJ is served by American Airlines flying to Charlotte (CLT) and Delta Air Lines flying to Atlanta (ATL) — both connecting you to hundreds of destinations worldwide.

A Terminal You Can Navigate

One building. Easy check-in. Clear signage. From parking to your gate, OAJ’s compact layout means less confusion and more confidence on your travel day.

What to Expect

Arrive 90 minutes before departure. Check in online or at the counter, clear TSA, and you’re at your gate in minutes. It really is that simple.

Good airport. Love the smaller airports. Much easier to deal with. Security was friendly and super thorough and very professional. Would definitely use it again.

Música P

Very easy airport to navigate due to its small size. All staff are super friendly and helpful. I wish larger airports had the character this smaller airport has. Thank you for an easy and stress-free experience.

Kelly B

Friendly airport. Relatively new. Spotlessly clean. Couple of food concessions after check in. 4 main car rental companies with friendly staff.. Always enjoy arriving and departing at this airport.

Andrew P

It is always a wonderful experience at Albert J Ellis Airport. The staff are welcoming and professional. Very clean airport as well.

Gary W

One of the best small airports that is underutilized! New, super clean, friendly staff and flying from here beats the two hour drive to Raleigh-Durham International Airport and parking here is very affordable! Love this airport!

Blue & Green Traveling Team

The best little airport... convenient all the way around and super clean!

By far the cleanest airport I have ever been to in my life and I've been flying since 1984. Nice professional friendly staff. I felt safe.

Chris M

Best airport in North Carolina. They treat you better than gold, very very friendly staff and quick security. Felt super comfortable here!

Charles G

It is easy to maneuver to where you need to go and it's gorgeous! The floors, all the glass work, the architecture is very cool and it's smaller which I love.

Mimi H

Very clean, very small airport! Everyone we have had contact with has been kind and upbeat. The little restaurant in the airport has a killer breakfast sandwich. Highly recommend this airport if you are able to fly through.
