To accommodate the sustained growth in passenger numbers, the Jacksonville Aviation Authority is undertaking several major infrastructure projects. <\/p>\n

A new concourse, Concourse B, will add six gates, additional concessions, and passenger amenities. Additionally, a third parking garage will provide approximately 2,000 new parking spaces. Both projects are expected to be completed by late 2026.<\/p>\n
