Perhaps that\u2019s as good a place to start as any other. Did you even know that there are four public airports in Jacksonville? Most know about Jacksonville International Airport (JAX), because they have flown from\/to it. We\u2019ll give you that one for free. But what about the other three? Cecil, Jacksonville Executive at Craig and Herlong Recreational Airports all cater to different aspects of the aviation industry. We hope to better educate readers on each airports\u2019 role and help people better understand how the airports contribute to the economic engine that powers Northeast Florida.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_120\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-120\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/flyjacksonville.com\/jetstream\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/home_slider_a.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-120 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/flyjacksonville.com\/jetstream\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/home_slider_a-300x188.jpg\" alt=\"home_slider_a\" width=\"300\" height=\"188\" srcset=\"http:\/\/flyjacksonville.com\/jetstream\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/home_slider_a-300x188.jpg 300w, http:\/\/flyjacksonville.com\/jetstream\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/home_slider_a-1024x640.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/flyjacksonville.com\/jetstream\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/home_slider_a-1170x731.jpg 1170w, http:\/\/flyjacksonville.com\/jetstream\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/home_slider_a.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-120\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jacksonville Executive at Craig Airport (JAXEX) is a corporate reliever for JAX International due to its close proximity to the city&#8217;s business district.
