PAF Base Shahbaz (IATA: JAG, ICAO: OPJA) is located at Jacobabad, in the Sindh province of Pakistan. It is a military base, operated by the Pakistan Air Force, as well as a civilian airport. The base, which is being operated by United States as a part of Operation Enduring Freedom, was temporarily evacuated 14th August 2010 due to 2010 Pakistan floods.[3]

In an interview given to Dawn newspapers, PAF's AVM Arshad Quddus, has told the reporters that Shahbaz Air Force Base is under the PAF control. "The Shahbaz Airbase is under complete operational control of the PAF. If you see any American let me know…. seeing is believing… there are no drones and no Americans", AVM Quddus concluded[4].
