(Jacksonville, Florida - FL, USA)




Located in northeast Florida and next to Biscayne Village, Garden City, Oceanway and San Mateo, Jacksonville International Airport (JAX) is just short distance from Jacksonville's downtown district. The airport has become a major air hub for northern Florida and southern Georgia, standing around 15 miles / 24 km to the north of the city.

Operated by the Jacksonville Aviation Authority, the airport's single passenger terminal handles traffic to the tune of over six million annual passengers, with non-stop flights to many major US cities with more than a dozen major and regional carriers, such as Continental and Delta. Each day, arriving and departing flights total well over 200 and this figure is set to rise, following the recent expansion work, which cost more than $150 million. Facilities at Jacksonville Airport are excellent and even include a Public Art Program, when passengers and visitors can enjoy a range of artworks relating to both Jacksonville and Florida.


There is a good choice of airport transport to Jacksonville and beyond, including the Express Shuttle minibus service, which runs to the city and other locations in Florida and Southeast Georgia. In addition, there are hotel courtesy shuttles, AirJTA shuttles (Jacksonville Transportation Authority), taxis run by Gator City Taxis and a fleet of limousines. All transport services leave from next to the Baggage Reclaim area on the lower level of the terminal building.
