Flights resume at Jackson airport after nationwide FAA ground stop

Flight operations resumed at Jackson-Medgar Wiley Evers International Airport following Friday’s nationwide FAA ground stop, but travelers still face cancellations and delays.

The Jackson Municipal Airport Authority said Saturday that airport operations have resumed and airlines have reopened passenger check-in.

In an update issued at 10:09 a.m., the airport authority said no flights had departed Jackson, but departures were anticipated to resume around noon.

The airport is reopening concourse access in phases as it works to accommodate passengers and restore normal operations.
