Airlines serving the Jackson-Medgar Wiley Evers International Airport (JAN) anticipate a significant increase in passenger traffic during the Spring Break travel period which begins this week. The number of travelers is expected to rise significantly starting now until Monday, March 14th, 2022.

During this busy travel period, the peak hours for passengers departing JAN are 6:00 -8:00 a.m., 10:00 a.m. until noon, and then 2:00-6:00 p.m. daily.
