'''Jacksonville International Airport''' {{airport codes|JAX|KJAX|JAX}} is a civil-military public airport 13 miles (21&nbsp;km) north of [[Downtown Jacksonville|Downtown]] [[Jacksonville, Florida|Jacksonville]], in [[Duval County, Florida|Duval County]], [[Florida]], United States. It is owned and operated by the [[Jacksonville Aviation Authority]].

==History==
[[File:JacksonvilleFLairport.jpg|left|thumb|An overhead photo of Jacksonville International Airport circa 1968 showing separate areas for departing and arriving passengers on different sides of the terminal]]
Construction started in 1965 on a new airport to handle travel to nearby [[Naval Air Station Jacksonville|naval bases]]. The new airport was dedicated on September 1, 1968, replacing [[Imeson Field]] which carried the same IATA code of JAX.<ref>"Dedication program, Jacksonville International Airport</ref> Terrain precluded lengthening the runways at Imeson, a necessity with the inception of commercial jet airliners. A new idea at JIA was separating departing and arriving passengers on different sides of the terminal. This is no longer the case, and the airport now uses the more typical layout with departing passengers on an upper level with an elevated roadway, and arriving passengers on the lower level.

The new airport was slow to expand, only serving two million passengers a year by 1982, but it served over five million annually by 1999 and an expansion plan was approved in 2000. The first phase, which included rebuilding the landside terminal, the central square and main concessions area, as well as consolidating the security checkpoints at one location, and more parking capacity was completed in 2004–2005. In 2007, 6,319,016 passengers were processed.

[[Image:JacksonvilleInternationalAirport-2010-a.JPG|240px|thumb|Concourse C|left]]
The second phase of the expansion program<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.jaa.aero/as/jia_expansion.asp|title=Jacksonville International Airport|website=www.jaa.aero}}</ref> was carried out over three years, commencing in mid-2006 and projected to cost about $170 million. Concourses A and C were completely rebuilt; the former concourses have been demolished. Work on Concourse B was given a low priority because the capacities of the rebuilt Concourses A and C were more than adequate for existing demand. The expansion was designed by [[Reynolds, Smith & Hills]] (RS&H).<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.rsandh.com/Aviation/Aviation-sg_Buildings_projects.asp|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120619011745/http://www.rsandh.com/Aviation/Aviation-sg_Buildings_projects.asp|url-status=dead|title=Reynolds, Smith & Hills – Aviation Building Projects|archive-date=June 19, 2012}}</ref>

The economic downturn of 2009 caused a decrease in passengers and flights. This led the JAA to commence the demolition of Concourse B in June 2009 because it was safer and easier for the contractor. After the debris was removed, asphalt was laid to provide space for ground equipment parking. The concourse will be rebuilt when passenger traffic increases, which the JAA had originally projected would occur in 2013 but did not materialize.<ref name="timeunion1">{{cite news |last1=Bauerlein |first1=David |title=Economy soars, but memories of Great Recession linger in Jacksonville |url=https://www.jacksonville.com/news/20190604/economy-soars-but-memories-of-great-recession-linger |access-date=8 June 2019 |newspaper=[[The Florida Times-Union]] |date=4 June 2019}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |last=Gibbons |first=Timothy J. |url=http://www.jacksonville.com/news/metro/2009-06-22/story/demolition_of_jia%E2%80%99s_concourse_b_brings_end_of_an_era |title=Demolition of JIA's Concourse B brings end of an era |newspaper=Florida Times-Union |date=June 22, 2009}}</ref> A section of the old concourse eventually became part of an airline club lounge which opened in 2019.

==Expansion==
In 2018, the airport handled 6,460,253 passengers, breaking the previous record set in 2007.<ref>{{cite press release |title=JAX Sets New Record for Annual Passenger Traffic |url=http://flyjacksonville.com/jetstream/jax-sets-new-record-for-annual-passenger-traffic |date=January 24, 2019 |publisher=Jacksonville Aviation Authority |access-date=January 21, 2020}}</ref> 7,186,639 passengers were handled in 2019.<ref>{{cite web |title=Enplanements by Airline |url=https://www.flyjacksonville.com/PDFs/transportation-report.pdf |website=flyjacksonville.com |publisher=Jacksonville Aviation Authority |access-date=23 September 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210830235219/https://www.flyjacksonville.com/PDFs/transportation-report.pdf |archive-date=30 August 2021 |date=31 May 2021 |url-status=live}}</ref> This increase in traffic prompted the JAA to revive the plan to rebuild concourse B and in 2019 RS&H and [[Jacobs Engineering Group|Jacobs Engineering]] were chosen to perform the design, while [[Balfour Beatty]] was selected as the construction manager for the concourse B project.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.jaxdailyrecord.com/article/with-traffic-surging-jacksonville-international-airport-adding-3rd-concourse |title=With traffic surging Jacksonville International Airport adding 3rd concourse |first=Caren |last=Burmeister |newspaper=Jacksonville Daily Record |date=1 March 2019 |access-date=17 May 2019}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.bizjournals.com/jacksonville/news/2019/05/02/jaa-selects-design-team-for-new-concourse.html |title=JAA selects design team for new concourse |first=Allison |last=Colburn |newspaper=[[American City Business Journals|Jacksonville Business Journal]] |date=2 May 2019 |access-date=4 October 2019}}</ref> However, the project was put on hold again due to the COVID-19 pandemic and resulting decrease in passenger demand. By 2022 traffic recovered to over 6.5 million passengers annually and the expansion project was restarted. On May 10, 2024, ground was broken on the new Concourse B, which will house six new gates, with the ability to expand to up to 10 additional gates. Concourse B is anticipated to be completed by the end of 2026.<ref>{{cite web |title=JIA breaks ground on Concourse B |url=https://www.news4jax.com/news/local/2024/05/10/jia-breaking-ground-on-new-concourse-b-friday-after-years-of-delays/|website=News4Jax |date=May 10, 2024 |access-date=May 18, 2024}}</ref> The design of concourses A and C also allow them to be extended to accommodate additional gates.

===Facilities===
[[File:JAX Airport Gate A3 with Plane.jpg|left|thumb|Gate A3]]
The airport covers {{convert|7911|acre|ha}} and has two concrete [[runway]]s: 08/26, 10,000 x 150&nbsp;ft (3,048 x 46 m) and 14/32, 7,701 x 150&nbsp;ft (2,347 x 46 m).<ref name=FAA /><ref>{{cite web|url=https://skyvector.com/airport/JAX/Jacksonville-International-Airport|title=JAX airport data at skyvector.com|website=skyvector.com}} FAA data effective April 17, 2025.</ref> The [[Airport terminal|terminal]] at JAX is composed of a baggage claim area, on the first floor and a ticketing area on the second floor, at the front of the structure. Past baggage claim and ticketing is the mezzanine, where shops, restaurants and the security checkpoint are located. Beyond the mezzanine are the airport's Concourses A and C, which include 10 [[Gate (airport)|gates]] each (for a total of 20), along with other shops and restaurants.<ref>{{cite web |title=Terminal Maps |url=http://www.flyjacksonville.com/content.aspx?id=21 |website=Jacksonville International Airport |access-date=June 13, 2014}}</ref>

The airport also has a [[Delta Sky Club]] on Concourse A and a multi-airline passenger club located behind the airside food court.

There are three galleries located off of the main courtyard before the security checkpoint. One features an art exhibit, the second houses a revolving exhibit about a Jacksonville-area landmark or institution, and the third houses a permanent exhibit highlighting the history of aviation in the region. 

In the year ending February 28, 2023, the airport had 99,616 aircraft operations, an average of 273 per day: 63% scheduled [[Commercial aviation|commercial]], 19% [[general aviation]], 14% [[air taxi]] and 4% [[Military aviation|military]]. In February 2023, there were 72 aircraft based at this airport: 3 single-engine and 3 multi-engine [[Airplane|airplanes]], 46 [[Jet aircraft|jet]], and 20 military.<ref name=FAA />

The airport has multiple fixed-base operators for transient general aviation aircraft. Besides fuel, the two offer services such as maintenance, catering, hangars, and courtesy and rental cars; there are also amenities such as internet, conference rooms, vending machines, crew lounges, snooze rooms, and showers.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Signature Flight Support FBO Info & Fuel Prices at Jacksonville Intl (KJAX) |url=http://www.flightaware.com/resources/airport/KJAX/services/FBO/Signature_Flight_Support |access-date=2025-11-05 |website=FlightAware |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Sheltair FBO Info & Fuel Prices at Jacksonville Intl (KJAX) |url=http://www.flightaware.com/resources/airport/KJAX/services/FBO/Sheltair |access-date=2025-11-05 |website=FlightAware |language=en}}</ref>

====Runways====
The airport has two runways: 08/26 and 14/32, laid out in a "V" pattern (with the tip of the "V" pointing west). Originally, a plan existed to build two more runways, each next to one of the existing runways. However, the airport's latest master plan, introduced in 2020, proposed a different future layout. Instead of an additional runway alongside runway 14/32, a new 8000-foot runway would be built in the southwestern portion of the airport, offset from, but in a direction parallel to runway 08/26, the existing northern runway. The future runway will extend westwards from near the southern end of runway 14/23 and would require relocating Terrell Road. This plan would result in an airfield layout resembling an inverted "Z", which would allow for a traffic pattern that provides for simultaneous independent operations on the current runway 08/26 (which would be re-designated 08L/26R) and the future southern runway (08R/26L), while eliminating the directional conflict at the tip of the current "V" layout. The north and south parallel runways will be separated by distance of approximately 7,500 feet.<ref>{{cite web |title=JAX 2020 Master Plan Update |url=https://www.flyjacksonville.com/PDFs/JAXMP/JAX-master-plan-2012/MP-JAX-all.pdf |publisher=Jacksonville Aviation Authority |access-date=2 November 2025}}</ref>

===Military facilities===
[[File:US Air Force 060122-F-4081S-050 Flight preparation.jpg|thumb|Jacksonville Air National Guard Base]]
Concurrent with the closure of Imeson Airport, the [[125th Fighter Wing|125th Fighter-Interceptor Group]] (125 FIG) of the [[Florida Air National Guard]] (FANG) relocated to Jacksonville International Airport. Military Construction (MILCON) funds provided for the establishment of '''Jacksonville Air National Guard Base''' in the southwest quadrant of the airport and placement of [[USAF]]-style emergency [[arresting gear]] on the JAX runways.  Upgraded from group to wing status and redesignated as the [[125th Fighter Wing]] (125 FW) in the early 1990s, the wing is the host unit for Jacksonville ANGB and operates [[F-15 Eagle|F-15C]] and [[F-15 Eagle|F-15D Eagle]] aircraft.  The 125 FW is operationally-gained by the [[Air Combat Command]] (ACC).{{Citation needed|date=April 2025}} The first [[Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II|Lockheed Martin F-35A Lightning]] arrived on March 4, 2025.<ref name="AFMMAY25-13">{{cite book|title=[[Air Forces Monthly]]|date=May 2025|publisher=[[Key Publishing|Key Publishing Ltd]]|location=[[Stamford, Lincolnshire]], [[England]]|pages=13}}</ref>

Jacksonville ANGB is a small [[air force base]], without the military housing, military hospital or other infrastructure of major [[U.S. Air Force]] installations. The [[Air National Guard]] provides a fully equipped USAF Crash Fire Rescue station to augment the airport's own fire department for both on-airport structural fires and [[aircraft rescue and firefighting]] (ARFF) purposes. The base employs approximately 300 full-time military personnel ([[Air Reserve Technician Program|ART]] and [[Active Guard Reserve|AGR]]) and 1,000 part-time military personnel who are traditional air national guardsmen.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/agency/usaf/125fw.htm |title=125th Fighter Wing [125th FW] |first=John |last=Pike |website=GlobalSecurity.org}}</ref>

==Accidents and incidents==

* On October 4, 1971, George M. Giffe Jr. hijacked a plane in [[Nashville, Tennessee]], then forced the pilot to fly to Jacksonville, where Giffe killed his wife, the pilot, and himself when cornered by the [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]].<ref>{{cite news |title=A Nashville hijacking 38 years ago set the standard on how not to handle hostage negotiations |last=Hargrove |first=Brantley |newspaper=Nashville Scene |date=August 27, 2009 |url=https://www.nashvillescene.com/news/article/13018682/a-nashville-hijacking-38-years-ago-set-the-standard-on-how-not-to-handle-hostage-negotiations |access-date=January 21, 2020}}</ref>

The debris from the Tampa-bound flight burned near Lem Turner Road. The 1986 [[National Transportation Safety Board]] report cited an [[Flight control surfaces#Elevator trim|elevator trim]] control system failure, which caused separation of the [[horizontal stabilizer]].<ref name="NOT">{{cite news |last1=Freeman |first1=Clayton |title=Commercial flight crash not Jacksonville's first |url=https://www.jacksonville.com/story/news/2019/05/04/commercial-flight-crash-near-nas-jacksonville-not-citys-first/5258207007/ |access-date=24 March 2022 |publisher=Florida Times-Union |date=May 4, 2019}}</ref>
* On December 21, 2001, a [[Piper PA-32 Cherokee Six|Piper PA-32]] [[Piper PA-32 Cherokee Six|Cherokee Six]] crashed while making a missed approach at the Jacksonville International Airport.

* On December 14, 2002, a [[Beechcraft Super King Air|Beech 200 King Air]] landed with collapsed landing gear after the gear failed to retract after departure.

* On October 28, 2004, a [[Scottish Aviation Bulldog|Scottish Aviation Bulldog model 120]] collided with trees then experienced collapse of the right main landing gear during an emergency landing at the Jacksonville International Airport.

* On November 2, 2025, a man broke through a security door at the Jacksonville International Airport, stole a car, and drove around the airport area.

===2025 Parking Garage Incident===
On May 16, 2025, the Hourly Parking Garage structure suffered damage after a vehicle caught fire. The fire quickly spread across a portion of the 3rd level, affecting around 50 vehicles and causing a partial collapse of the 2nd and 3rd levels. The garage will remain closed indefinitely until its structural integrity can be examined.<ref>{{cite news |last=Harris |first=Jenese |date=May 16, 2025 |title='Going to be a long process': JFRD chief says crews unable to enter garage at JAX after fire causes partial collapse |url=https://www.news4jax.com/news/local/2025/05/16/going-to-be-a-long-process-jfrd-chief-says-crews-unable-to-enter-garage-at-jax-after-fire-causes-partial-collapse/ |work=WJXT News 4 Jax |access-date=May 16, 2025|ref=none}}</ref>

As of June 2025, the origin of the fire was linked to a single BMW, though it is still unclear how the fire spread so significantly. The airport is expected to spend $38 million to fix the garage; while insurance proceeds are expected to play a large role, it is not completely clear how the full cost of the fix will be covered.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |last=Dixon |first=Drew |date=2025-06-22 |title=Jacksonville International Airport likely to spend $38M on garage torched by fire in May |url=https://floridapolitics.com/archives/744530-jacksonville-international-airport-likely-to-spend-38m-on-garage-torched-by-fire-in-may/ |access-date=2025-06-25 |website=Florida Politics - Campaigns & Elections. Lobbying & Government. |language=en-US}}</ref>

The airport says it may use the opportunity to add an additional floor to the parking garage as well as a sprinkler system to help suppress future fires.<ref name=":0" />
