The Jackson Municipal Airport Authority (JMAA) advises that airlines serving Jackson-Medgar Wiley Evans International Airport (JAN) continue to experience passenger travel decline during the COVID-19 period, with daily ad-hoc cancellations being made based on passenger loads and operational considerations. However, JAN is open for business with flights to four (4) global hubs every day.

JMAA continues to adhere to all guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and has installed hand sanitizers throughout JAN and Hawkins Field Airport (HKS). JMAA is continuing its long-standing partnership with the Mississippi Department of Health (MSDH), as well.

 

SANITARY RECOMMENDATIONS

As Your Connection to the World, JMAA strongly encourages passengers to utilize the following safe travel tips:

  • Check in online or via mobile device and airline applications when possible;
  • Bring sanitary wipes and/or up to 12 oz. of hand sanitizer for personal use and on board aircraft. TSA is now allowing this larger volume during the COVID-19 period;
  • Wash hands frequently or use the hand sanitizers installed throughout JAN terminals;
  • Practice social distancing of six (6) feet apart.
  • It is now recommended by MSDH and CDC to utilize face coverings when traveling, out of an abundance of caution.

To further encourage public safety, JMAA has posted CDC guidelines to www.iFlyJackson.com, on JMAA social media platforms, and throughout JAN and HKS. There is also a detailed public service announcement playing overhead at JAN suggesting best hygiene practices.

 

AIRLINE INFORMATION

We encourage all passengers to monitor airlines and www.iFlyJackson.com for any changes to flight status. Check with your airline carrier if you are currently booked for upcoming travel. Their websites will offer up-to-date information on flight schedules and call centers are available for passengers traveling within seventy-two (72) hours. Many changes can be made at the carriers’ online websites. The airlines are working diligently to help any passengers who may need to alter plans.

 

AIRPORT CONCESSIONS

JAN Airport is experiencing schedule adjustments at various airport concessions (stores, restaurants, etc.) as concessionaires adjust their business models and staffing during this period. Thank you for your understanding during this time of change.
