Jackson Regional Airport announces ‘10,000 Passenger Celebration Giveaway’

JACKSON, Tenn. —  Jackson Regional Airport, in partnership with Denver Air Connection (DAC), is excited to announce its “10,000 Passenger Celebration Giveaway.” The celebration marks the moment Jackson Regional Airport reaches 10,000 Denver Air Connection passengers in the calendar year 2025—a major milestone for West Tennessee’s air service growth.

Once the 10,000th DAC passenger of 2025 travels through Jackson Regional Airport, the giveaway drawing will be triggered. One eligible entrant will receive a full year of free round-trip flights in 2026, redeemed as 12 total flight vouchers valid for travel to Chicago or Atlanta. The selected winner must also meet certain eligibility requirements as listed in the official contest rules.

Eligibility began November 15, 2025, and includes all new DAC passengers traveling through Jackson Regional Airport from that date forward. A free mail-in entry option is also available, as detailed in the official contest rules posted at the airport and online at FlyJackson.com/contest.

A Landmark Year for Air Service in West Tennessee

The approaching 10,000-passenger milestone highlights an extraordinary year for Jackson Regional Airport. West Tennessee communities have enthusiastically embraced Denver Air Connection’s 50-passenger jet service, taking advantage of reliable flights to Atlanta and Chicago, along with seamless one-stop connections nationwide.

From June through October, DAC flights at MKL achieved an exceptional 95% on-time rate, with zero cancellations—a remarkable record that has earned widespread praise and propelled Jackson Regional Airport’s strongest passenger growth in years.

A Celebration of Community Support
