Private Aviation Briefing
90AR is the identifier for Alos Field, serving Jonesboro at 252 ft MSL elevation. Operators, passengers, and dispatchers should note the following details for flight planning and charter operations.
U.S. General Aviation Context
Alos Field is part of the U.S. National Airspace System, regulated by the FAA. As a AR facility, the airport contributes to the regional transportation network connecting Jonesboro to the broader aviation system. FAA Part 135 charter operators serve this airport, and The Jet Finder can source aircraft positioned near 90AR for on-demand charter.
Runway Capability
Alos Field's 2450-foot runway limits operations to piston aircraft, light turboprops, and select short-field-capable jets. The Pilatus PC-12 (2,600 ft required), Cessna Caravan, and King Air C90 are among the turbine aircraft that can use fields of this length. Charter passengers should coordinate with The Jet Finder to identify aircraft types suited to 90AR's runway.
Charter Considerations
Peak travel periods affect aircraft availability and pricing near Jonesboro. Holiday weekends, major events, and seasonal migration patterns drive demand. Booking 7 to 14 days ahead of peak periods secures better aircraft selection and pricing from 90AR. Last-minute charter is possible but typically costs 15 to 30% more due to limited positioning options.
What to Know Before You Fly
Weather at Alos Field affects scheduling reliability. IFR-equipped aircraft and instrument-rated crews fly in most weather conditions, but low ceilings, thunderstorms, and winter ice can delay departures. Flexible scheduling improves reliability. Morning departures generally encounter better weather than afternoon flights, particularly during convective season.
Safety & Planning
Instrument approach availability at Alos Field determines minimum weather for arrival. Airports with ILS approaches allow lower minimums than GPS-only fields. If 90AR has limited approach options, weather alternate planning becomes critical. The Jet Finder identifies suitable alternate airports and factors this into flight planning for charter from Alos Field.
Airport Selection Strategy
Choosing Alos Field over a larger commercial hub near Jonesboro often reduces total travel time. General aviation airports like 90AR eliminate terminal congestion, commercial airline scheduling, and the 90-minute early arrival buffer. The net time savings on a typical trip can exceed three hours each direction.
Seasonal Factors
Seasonal demand patterns affect charter availability and pricing from Alos Field. Holiday periods (Thanksgiving, Christmas, Spring Break) see 40 to 60% price increases due to demand spikes. Summer leisure travel and winter ski season create directional imbalances that generate empty leg opportunities. Planning around these patterns saves significantly on charter from 90AR.
Location & Address
Geographically, Alos Field (90AR) is located at 35.7309° N, -90.7950° W near Jonesboro, AR. Private aviation clients arriving at 90AR save the 2-3 hours commercial passengers spend on check-in, security, and baggage claim.
Runways & Facilities
At 2,450 feet, Alos Field's runway accommodates piston singles and light turboprops. Jet operations are not practical at this field length. Pilots flying larger aircraft should plan for a nearby airport with more runway.
FBOs & Ground Services
