About Atlantic Aviation
Atlantic Aviation at Jackson-Medgar Wiley Evers International Airport is the primary FBO serving Mississippi's capital city, located at 120 North Hangar Drive about six miles east of downtown Jackson. The facility operates 24/7 and provides Jet A fueling, ground handling, shuttle service, and crew lounges. Atlantic's national booking platform, Atlantic Gateway, allows passengers and operators to reserve services and view real-time updates from any device, which is useful for coordinating arrivals at a mid-sized airport where FBO traffic can vary significantly between quiet weekdays and busy event periods. The airport has two runways, the longer at 8,500 feet, handling all standard business jet types without restriction. The staff can make hotel and restaurant recommendations and arrange discounted rates at select properties. Jackson is the largest city in Mississippi with a metro population of about 580,000, and it serves as the center of state government, healthcare, and legal services. The University of Mississippi Medical Center, the state's only academic medical center, generates steady medical and administrative travel. The city also draws visitors for events at the Mississippi Coliseum and the annual Dixie National Stock Show and Rodeo in February. The Fondren District has emerged as a dining and arts destination. For charter passengers visiting Jackson on government business, legal matters, healthcare, or energy industry work in the Mississippi oil patch, Atlantic Aviation provides a reliable, full-service experience with the backing of a national FBO chain. The facility is functional and comfortable without the high-end finishes found at busier locations.
