In Flight
The Jackson County Airport in Jefferson
is the “air door” to our community. With
industry growth over the last few years, the
airport is preparing for the future. It has a
5,009-foot runway, new markings, improved
lighting, ramp space available for rent from
the County, County/private hangar space
options, and some of the lowest fuel prices in
North Georgia.
Jackson County Airport plays a vital role
in supporting the region with approximately
50 jobs and $5.48 million in annual economic
output for the local and regional economies.
The airport supports area industries and
businesses that rely on it to conduct
business operations by transporting people,
equipment, and goods in and out of the
region, as well as supports activities such
as flight training, aerial inspections, military
training, Civil Air Patrol search and rescue
operations, aerial surveys and photography,
and aerial advertising.
Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International
Airport (ATL), the world’s busiest airport, is
just over an hour’s drive from Jackson County,
which makes business travel convenient.
Local businesses that operate internationally
save a tremendous amount of time and
money by taking advantage of flights to more
than 70 international destinations offered
at ATL.
