Jacksonville Airport (JAX) Flight Status

Jacksonville Airport, formally Jacksonville International Airport (IATA JAX, ICAO KJAX), is a large airport serving the city of Jacksonville in the United States and a quiet field in our own 30-day reception measurement. Our database places it at 30.4925 degrees north, 81.6878 degrees west. The live radar on this page shows the aircraft around Jacksonville right now, and the arrivals and departures pages linked above it are the quickest way to check the state of a flight to or from Jacksonville; the sections below add the context we can offer from our own data.

JAX is the IATA code you see on tickets and booking confirmations for Jacksonville; KJAX is the ICAO code used in aviation datasets, including ours. Both refer to the same airport; this page uses JAX throughout.

What our own measurement shows

Over a 30-day period, our own reception measurement recorded an average of 0.5 aircraft observations per day near Jacksonville International, which places JAX in the quiet range within our data. Two notes help put that number in perspective. First, it is our own measurement, so the radar on this page and the arrivals and departures pages linked above it remain the place to look for current arrivals and departures at JAX. Second, a low count in our measurement says nothing about individual flights; it simply means we recorded few aircraft near this location during the period. Our data for Jacksonville lists no busiest window, so the daily average is the only traffic figure we can offer for JAX; the radar on this page shows how the day actually unfolds.

Airlines measured at Jacksonville

Three carriers appeared in our 30-day measurement at Jacksonville International. American Airlines and United Airlines were each recorded twice during the period, and Southwest Airlines once. The counts are small and close together, so we list all three rather than single out a leader. If you are following a specific flight, the airline pages are often the faster route: American Airlines flight status, United Airlines flight status and Southwest flight status.

For journeys that touch other American airports, the airport overview is the natural starting point on this site; Jacksonville International is one of many airports in the country with its own page here.

Nearby airports

Northeast Florida Regional Airport is the closest alternative to JAX in our data at 68 km, and Brunswick Golden Isles Airport follows at 88 km. Both distances come from our database and are measured from Jacksonville International. When a flight to or from Jacksonville is disrupted, these distances give a first indication of which airport could serve as a fallback; check the current status of any alternative before making plans around it.
