Mission Statement: The role and importance of the airport in economic development and community service has been demonstrated and cannot be disputed. For a community to flourish, it must have an efficient, progressive, and successful airport.

History: Delta Air Lines' inaugural flight was in 1929. In 1963 a new military and commercial air facility was dedicated in Rankin County, known as Allen C. Thompson Field. Even though, we are still referred to as Thompson Field, our name has officially been changed to the Jackson International Airport. Along with this International status, the United States Customs office is now located within our facility and we have established a Foreign Trade Zone. As we look into the future, we see the Jackson International Airport continuing to grow in size and service to the citizens of Mississippi.
