Jackson (JAN) Airport Delays — FAQ
What does an active FAA delay mean at JAN?
An active FAA delay at JAN means the FAA has issued an advisory — such as a Ground Stop, Ground Delay Program, or Arrival/Departure Delay — affecting flights operating at Jackson-Medgar Wiley Evers International Airport. It is a system-wide restriction, not specific to one airline.
What is a Ground Delay Program at JAN?
A Ground Delay Program at JAN means inbound flights are being held at their departure airports and given controlled release times. This absorbs delay on the ground rather than in the air, saving fuel and improving safety. GDPs typically last several hours.
What is a Ground Stop at JAN?
A Ground Stop at JAN temporarily halts all departures heading to Jackson. Flights already en route are generally allowed to continue. Ground Stops are usually shorter in duration than Ground Delay Programs and are issued when conditions change rapidly.
How often is JAN FAA delay data updated?

Are FAA airport delays the same as individual flight delays at JAN?
No. FAA airport delays are system-wide advisories issued by the FAA affecting all flights at JAN. Individual flight delays may also be caused by airline-specific issues such as late-arriving aircraft, crew availability, or mechanical problems. Both can occur simultaneously.
