WHY IT'S WORTH IT
The engine, not the storefront. See how a 1.29 million-passenger international airport operates behind the ticket counter.
Infrastructure that anchors the region. The runways, cargo, and logistics backbone that make Mississippi's aerospace and defense economy possible—on the very field shared with the 172nd Airlift Wing.
Emerging tech and workforce. A live look at where JMAA's aviation talent and unmanned systems are heading.
A business front door. JAN is actively courting partners and tenants; for BD-minded attendees this is a direct line into development and partnership opportunities.
The full picture. Paired with the 172nd tour, you see both halves of the same airfield—the mission and the enterprise that supports it.
