Because of this, the Jacksonville Aviation Authority (JAA) is recommending that all passengers arrive at the terminal at least two hours prior to departure time to check bags and navigate through security.

JAA also said that on certain days of the week, all on-airport parking is expected to be full. Travelers may want to consider off-airport parking options or alternate forms of transportation to JAX, JAA said.

Any capacity closures of on-airport parking facilities will be indicated on the JAX Airport website, the airport’s Twitter handle (@JAXairport) and on Airport Road signage approaching JAX. Status updates will also be communicated on the airport’s Facebook and Instagram pages.
