The Jackson Municipal Airport Authority (JMAA) is expecting a significant increase in travel beginning Friday, June 30th through Wednesday, July 5th at Jackson-Medgar Wiley Evers International Airport (JAN). As we enter the holiday weekend and into next week, JMAA is committed to providing a seamless and efficient travel experience for all passengers.
JMAA is aware of the recent delays and cancellations experienced throughout the country due to severe storms and other issues impacting the southern and east coast regions of the U.S.A. We are pleased to report that JAN operations are currently running smoothly, with minimal impact on the four (4) global carriers serving Jackson.
Passengers flying out of JAN are encouraged to check the flight status with their respective airlines before heading to the airport. It is critically important to stay informed on weather and air traffic conditions, which can change often. We advise passengers to allow sufficient time for check-in and security procedures, arriving two (2) hours prior to flight departure.
