Jackson-Medgar Wiley Evers International Airport — Jackson, United States

JAN is the code for Jackson-Medgar Wiley Evers International Airport, the primary commercial gateway for Jackson, Mississippi, and the surrounding capital region. Renamed in 2004 to honor civil rights leader Medgar Evers, the airport reflects the city's significant role in the civil rights movement. JAN offers domestic flights on major U.S. carriers connecting Jackson to key hubs such as Atlanta, Dallas, and Charlotte, serving business travelers, state government traffic, and regional residents.
