Location
Jackson, United States
Jackson Hole Airport (JAC/KJAC) is a public airport serving Jackson, Wyoming, located within the boundaries of Grand Teton National Park. Sitting at an elevation of approximately 6,451 feet above sea level, it is one of the highest-elevation commercial airports in the United States, requiring special considerations for aircraft performance. The airport serves as a vital gateway to both Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks, making it a busy hub for tourism, particularly during summer and winter ski seasons. Its runway length and high-altitude location limit the size of aircraft that can operate there commercially. Despite its location inside a national park, the airport operates under a special use permit from the National Park Service, which is periodically renewed and has historically been a subject of environmental and regulatory discussion.

The airport has a single terminal building with a small number of gates serving commercial and general aviation passengers.
