Environmental
Jackson Hole Flight Services and the Airport operate under a use agreement with Grand Teton National Park. JAC is the only airport operating within a national park and environmental stewardship is a core value at Jackson Hole Flight Services.
Volunteer Noise Curfew
We request aircraft operators to follow our noise abatement procedures and adhere to the Voluntary Noise Curfew. These best practices are in place to minimize aircraft noise over sensitive wildlife and communities located near the Airport and inside Grand Teton National Park.
Please do not land or takeoff after 9:30 pm or before 7:00 am.
Carbon Offsetting
The Airport partners with the Good Traveler Program in an effort to give travelers the ability to purchase certified carbon offsets. All offset funds support local emissions-reducing projects.

Waste Reduction
The Airport has an extensive waste reduction program and is committed to a county-wide 60% waste diversion goal by 2030. We’re requesting your help by separating your trash, recycling, compost items, and liquid waste upon arrival and when using our facilities. Recycle stations are conveniently located in all our facilities.
Fly Quiet Program
The Airport has a Fly Quiet Program. This program encourages pilots to utilize preferred approach and departure procedures and fly quieter aircraft in order to decrease aircraft noise inside the park. Top operators are highlighted in local and national publications quarterly.

Environmental Stewardship in Design
Environmental stewardship is a top priority for the Jackson Hole Airport Board and these values help guide the Board with every project and operational need they consider. The redesign of Airport buildings (including terminal, offices, and hangars), are an opportunity to improve energy efficiency and reduce the airport’s carbon footprint. Updated Jackson Hole Airport facilities include components in their all-electric building systems design that signal a strong commitment to the Airport’s environmental and renewable goals.
How the Airport manages its environmental impact is a measure of how well it operates. Whether improving energy efficiency and reducing its carbon footprint or strengthening community relationships – being environmentally conscious leads to a more efficient, successful airport. By integrating sustainable practices into facility design, the Jackson Hole Airport is focused on prioritizing environmental stewardship to support our users and community.
