A new runway alongside the existing southern runway will be built first, however, no date has been set yet for implementing the runway expansion plan. A long-range plan exists to build two additional runways, each paralleling one of the existing runways. The airport's two runways are laid out in "V" configuration (with the bottom tip of the "V" pointing West). In 2006, nearly six miilion passengers were processed. The first phase, which included rebuilding the landside terminal, the central square and main concessions area, as well as consolidating the security checkpoints to a single location, and adding more parking capacity was completed in 2004-2005. The airport served over five million passengers annually by 1999, and an airport expansion plan was approved in 2000. However, the addition of more airline service in the late 1980s and early 1990s saw the need for more space in the complex. Initially the airport was slow to expand, only serving two million passengers a year in the early eighties. Jacksonville International was finally opened late 1968, replacing the antiquated Imeson Airport. Jacksonville International Airport (IATA: JAX, ICAO: KJAX, FAA LID: JAX) is a public airport located nine miles (14 km) north of the central business district of Jacksonville, a city in Duval County, Florida, United States.Ĭonstruction of the airport started in 1965, in order for the city to accommodate a more cosmopolitan populace which was introduced with the sizable military base in the region.
