Cecil Field, part of the city's network of four airports managed by the Jacksonville Aviation Authority (JAA), consists of two sets of parallel runways.  The two North/South runways consist of one runway which is 12,500 feet and another which is 8,000 feet.  The two east/west runways are each 8,000 feet in length.  Additional airport facilities include 537,000 square yards of apron, eight hangars and more than 150,000 square feet of office space.  With easy access to air and seaports, many interstates and a rail system, Cecil Field is perfectly suited for aircraft maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) operations and a variety of aviation-related industrial and commercial development.  Cecil Field is one of four airports in Jacksonville operated by the Jacksonville Aviation Authority.  For more information on Cecil Field, click here.

Deep Water Port

The 1,400-acre Port of Jacksonville (JAXPORT), is comprised of three marine terminals: Talleyrand, Blount Island and Dames Point, all situated along the St. Johns River. Together they handled a record-setting 8.4 million tons of cargo in Fiscal Year 2005, including more than 544,000 vehicles - making JAXPORT the second largest vehicle handling ports in the country. In this same time, more than 1,600 vessels called on JAXPORT and more than 777,000 containers were handled.

JAXPORT, which is served by more than 26 shipping lines, accommodates a diverse range of cargo including containerized, break bulk, bulk and roll-on/roll-off. Throughout the JAXPORT facilities there are 14 container cranes, on-dock rail, advanced intermodal yards and numerous warehouses (including refrigerated). Continuous dredging improvements are in progress to increase the port's main channel to 40 feet throughout the its entire length from the Atlantic Ocean to Talleyrand terminal. Mitsui O.S.K. recently opened its 160-acre, $200 million facility at the Dames Point terminal and Hanjin's $300 million terminal is scheduled to be completed in 2011, both of which allow Jacksonville to have direct Asian container ship service and new post-panamax cranes. 

International trade is big business at JAXPORT, where companies can take advantage of Foreign Trade Zone #64 and save money on tariffs and duties. JAXPORT's top trading partners include Asia, Brazil, Argentine, Russia, Columbia, Canada and Bahamas. In addition, JAXPORT also handles 85 percent of all U.S. trade with Puerto Rico.  For more information on JAXPORT, visit www.jaxport.com.
