The airport encompasses two runways and a passenger terminal, divided into Concourses A and C.

The airport is connected with Jacksonville city centre by bus routes (AirJTA, EZ Airport Shuttle, and Pearl Executive Shuttle), shuttle buses, and a monorail line. Taxi, limousine and shuttle services are located behind the baggage claim area, on the lower level of the terminal building. No advance reservations are required.
