About This Airport

Medgar Wiley Evers, the civil-rights leader shot dead in his Jackson driveway in 1963, gives this airport its name — a rare case of a US gateway honouring an activist rather than a politician or general. Today JAN (ICAO: KJAN) is Mississippi's busiest passenger field, served by American, Delta and United, and a working cargo station rather than a mere afterthought: it ranks around 123rd in the US for freight tonnage. AFCO has run a 39,200-square-foot air-freight terminal here since 2004, and the airport sits inside Foreign-Trade Zone 158. Interstates 20 and 55 cross beside the runways, while CPKC and Canadian National rails thread the metro toward the Gulf and the Midwest. Genuinely heavy or intercontinental loads still move by bonded truck to Memphis (FTZ 77), the global freight hub two hours north.
