The [[Jalalabad Airport]] (also known as Nangarhar Airport) is located roughly {{convert|3|mi}} southeast from the city's center.

There are proposals for the establishment of [[Rail transport in Afghanistan|Afghanistan's rail network]] linking Jalalabad with [[Pakistan Railways]], allowing for increased trade of goods, people and commerce between the two countries.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.pajhwok.com/en/2013/01/03/work-jalalabad-railways-station-launched |title=Work on Jalalabad railways station launched |publisher=Pajhwok Afghan News |date=3 January 2013 |access-date=2013-01-04 |archive-date=2018-12-15 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181215201808/https://www.pajhwok.com/en/2013/01/03/work-jalalabad-railways-station-launched |url-status=live }}</ref>

Jalalabad is connected by main roads with the Afghan capital of Kabul, the city of Peshawar in [[Khyber Pakhtunkhwa]], Pakistan, and several nearby Afghan cities and towns. All trade between Afghanistan and Pakistan passes through this city. The highway between Jalalabad and Kabul was resurfaced in 2006, reducing the transit time between these two important cities. This highway is considered to be one of the most dangerous in the world because of the large number of accidents.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2010/02/08/world/asia/08road.html |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20220103/https://www.nytimes.com/2010/02/08/world/asia/08road.html |archive-date=2022-01-03 |url-access=subscription |url-status=live|title=A Highway in Afghanistan Presents Scenes of Beauty and Death|first=Dexter|last=Filkins|newspaper=The New York Times|date=7 February 2010|access-date=28 January 2018}}{{cbignore}}</ref> An improvement in the road networks between Jalalabad and Peshawar has also been proposed,{{by whom|date=August 2014}} with the intention of widening the existing road and improving security to attract more tourists and allow for safer passage of goods between to the two countries.
