(1899-2014)
Tucked away in the westernmost point of the East Coast, Jacksonville is the least likely place on the Atlantic or Gulf Coasts to experience a hurricane. Due to a “recurvature effect,” storms heading toward Jacksonville are influenced by the Bermuda high pressure system from the west and are driven northward.
After investing more than $300 million to construct and expand the terminal and its three concourses, JAX is now one of the most modern airports in the world.
With multiple cargo terminals capable of handling container, automobile, bulk, breakbulk and refrigerated cargoes, JAXPORT is a premier diversified port with connections to major trade lanes throughout the world.
Jacksonville boasts a strong intermodal system with fast access to major markets throughout the U.S. via three railroads – CSX (headquartered in Jacksonville), Norfolk Southern and Florida East Coast Railway – and multiple interstates including I-10, I-75 and I-95.
