About McKellar-Sipes Regional Airport
McKellar-Sipes Regional Airport serves Jackson, Tennessee, and Madison County as the region's main commercial and general aviation airport. Its history reaches back to McKellar Field, a World War II-era military training field, before the facility developed into the public-use airport serving West Tennessee today.
Located about four nautical miles (7 km) west of downtown Jackson, the airport offers scheduled Denver Air Connection flights to Atlanta and Chicago, with onward connections available through major airline hubs. It primarily serves travelers from Jackson, Madison County, and the wider West Tennessee area.
The airport uses a single terminal with a ticket counter, TSA screening, a boarding lounge, a Hertz rental desk and ground transportation access at 308 Grady Montgomery Drive. In December 2024, the facility was rebranded as Jackson Regional Airport, while the McKellar-Sipes name remains widely used.
Alongside passenger service, the airport supports general aviation through a fixed-base operator with fueling and hangar services, aircraft maintenance, and a flight school, making it an important local aviation hub for both scheduled and private flying.
