Jacksonville Aviation Authority (JAA)

The Jacksonville Aviation Authority, an independent government agency created by the Florida legislature, operates primarily as a landlord, managing the upkeep, improvement and expansion of its facilities and coordinating their use by private companies. JAA operates the Jacksonville International Airport (JAX), Cecil Airport and Spaceport (VQQ), Jacksonville Executive at Craig Airport (CRG), and Herlong Recreational Airport (HEG). JAA owns the runways, hangars, passenger terminal building, airport grounds and road connections to the public highway system. JAA provides and maintains the terminals and their equipment and manages the overall use of the facilities. The vision for the Jacksonville Aviation Authority (JAA) is to continue to grow as an economic engine through the provision of excellent air transportation services including passenger, air cargo and general aviation and the development of its property primarily for aviation related industrial, general light industrial and office as well as commercial uses. The Authority will accomplish this by maintaining its assets in a first class manner and cooperating with the City of Jacksonville and other regional entities in attracting new businesses and services to its airports.
