The Jackson Hole Airport will have several large capital projects taking place during the spring of 2021 through the summer of 2022. These projects will allow JAC to operate safely and support airline operations while enhancing the traveler experience. Safety, efficiency, and being good stewards to the environment are our top priority every day and these commitments are considered with every project plan developed for JAC.

Runway Reconstruction
The lifespan of use for a runway is typically 20 years. The asphalt runway at JAC has been rehabbed four times since it was originally constructed in the late1970’s and it is due for a total reconstruction in the spring of 2022 which will include a 78-day runway closure.
During the closure, construction partners and JAC are committed to guaranteeing that this project is completed efficiently, with minimal impacts, and adheres to the highest environmental standards we can achieve on such a project. To view a map of the runway project phasing, please click here.
