In May 2001, the Florida State Legislature approved the restructuring of the
Jacksonville Port Authority (JPA) into two separate entities (City J-Bill-1104);
the Jacksonville Aviation Authority (JAA) and the Jacksonville Seaport Authority
effective October 1, 2001.
The Jacksonville Aviation Authority, an independent government agency created by the Florida legislature,
operates primarily as a landlord, managing the upkeep, improvement and expansion of
its facilities and coordinating their use by private companies. JAA owns the runways,
hangars, passenger terminal building, airport grounds and road connections to the public highway
system. JAA provides and maintains the terminals and their equipment and manages the overall use
of the facilities.
Mission Statement
The mission of the Jacksonville Aviation Authority is to manage, operate, maintain and develop an
airport system that exceeds the aviation need of the City of Jacksonville, Northeast Florida and
Southeast Georgia.
Vision Statement
The vision of the Jacksonville Aviation Authority is to be the best airport (system) in the world.
The Jacksonville Aviation Authority expects to achieve this vision by developing and maintaining a high
level of credibility by exceeding customer and shareholder expectations.
Culture Statement
In order to become the best airport (system) in the world, our employees must be the best. Our employees
will perform at their best when they are held accountable but empowered to express their entrepreneurial
spirit and contribute to the success of the organization and are rewarded and recognized for their
accomplishments.
