Overview
Plantation Airpark (KJYL) is a public-use, non-towered airport serving Sylvania, Georgia, with two paved runways and fuel service supporting light business aviation traffic in the region.

Business aviation operations remain modest year to year, consistent with a facility that supports the surrounding area without the volume of a regional hub.
