Flights to Jacksonville
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Jacksonville is served by 3 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Jacksonville International Airport (JAX), 18 km (11 mi) from the centre, whose 10,000-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft. The alternatives are Northeast Florida Regional Airport (UST, 51 km), Gainesville Regional Airport (GNV, 93 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jacksonville International Airport | JAX | 18 km (11 mi) | 10,000 ft | 30 ft |
| Northeast Florida Regional Airport (regional) | UST | 51 km (32 mi) | 12,000 ft | 10 ft |
| Gainesville Regional Airport (regional) | GNV | 93 km (58 mi) | 7,504 ft | 152 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 10,000 ft, JAX can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 30 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
