Is fuel available at KMJX?
Ocean County Airport stocks both 100LL avgas and Jet A fuel. The field is uncontrolled, meaning there is no operating tower, so all radio coordination for fuel and traffic runs through CTAF. Attendance hours vary by season: 0800 to 1700 from November through March, and 0800 to 2000 from April through October. Pilots operating outside those windows should plan fuel needs accordingly, since the airport is not staffed around the clock.
Where does KMJX clear customs?
Ocean County Airport does not have customs processing onsite. The nearest customs-capable facility is KNEL, located approximately 7.07 nautical miles away. Pilots requiring customs clearance need to route through that facility rather than at Ocean County itself. No CANPASS or onsite customs designation applies at this field.
How much business aviation traffic does Ocean County Airport handle?
Ocean County Airport, KMJX, recorded 1,594 business aviation operations in 2025 out of 2,578 total annual operations, according to FAA TFMSC data. Traffic is uneven across the year, with a clear summer concentration: July logged 234 business aviation operations and August 216, compared to lows of 64 in February and 82 in December. This seasonal pattern reflects a strong midyear peak relative to the winter months. The airport carries an ops tier of 1, the busiest classification level in this dataset.
What operational hazards are noted for KMJX?
Ocean County Airport has a published caution for deer and birds both on the airport and in the vicinity, a wildlife hazard pilots should watch for during approach and departure. For clearance delivery, pilots contact McGuire Approach rather than a local ground or tower frequency, since the field is uncontrolled. Lighting activation for the approach lighting system on runway 06, along with REIL, PAPI, and runway edge lights, is pilot-controlled via CTAF. There is no control tower on the field.
