Who Controls Jackson-Evers Airport

A federal trial is set to begin this week over who controls Jackson-Evers International Airport, pitting the state against the city of Jackson in a decade-long legal battle. The state argues the airport serves a broader regional population and needs a wider governing board, while Jackson insists it’s a local asset and the state’s 2016 law is an unconstitutional overreach. After a federal judge refused to dismiss the case, both sides are preparing for a high-stakes courtroom showdown that could reshape the airport’s future.
