Jackson celebrates new runway, routes at airport

Officials cut the ribbon on a new runaway and renovated air traffic control tower at the McKeller-Sipes Regional Airport in Jackson. Local, state, and national officials joined airport staff and members of the Jackson Chamber of Commerce to celebrate both the ribbon cutting and the new service to Denver that will start from the runway in December. The new service also offers direct flights to Atlanta and Chicago as well as connections to other Delta, United, and American Airlines hubs.
