New nonstop service between Jackson and Nashville will be offered by Southwest Airlines beginning April 8.

The Jackson Municipal Airport Authority (JMAA) is thrilled to announce the addition of a new nonstop flight between Jackson-Medgar Wiley Evers International Airport (JAN) and Nashville, TN, (BNA) beginning Tuesday, April 8. This new city will mark the ninth airport destination for JAN travelers.

“Since Southwest’s highly anticipated return to Jackson in 2021, Mississippians have enjoyed more nonstop flight options, including direct flights from Jackson to Baltimore, Houston, Atlanta and Orlando,” remarks JMAA CEO Rosa Beckett. “JMAA is thrilled about this new Nashville service and Southwest’s strong presence in the market.”

The airline has grown tremendously in Nashville and will operate up to 174 peak flights daily, connecting JAN passengers not only to the city of Nashville but also to dozens of cities across the South, Midwest, East Coast and Caribbean. Music fans and others will appreciate this convenient service to the home of country music and all the exciting attractions in the burgeoning capital of Tennessee.

This newest nonstop flight will support key business-to-business travel for Nissan, Amazon and other businesses with operations in central Mississippi cities and in Nashville and its surrounding communities.
