密西西比州海因兹县杰克逊市机场接管诉讼未阻航站楼改造 新出发大厅等方案进入设计谈判
密西西比州海因兹县杰克逊市10月26日消息，杰克逊市机场管理局首席执行官罗莎·贝克特表示，尽管围绕机场控制权的诉讼尚未了结，杰克逊-梅德加·威利·埃弗斯国际机场的航站楼改造计划仍在向前推进。机场委员会已选定开发团队，初步方案包括新建出发大厅、设立单一安检通道并拆除西大厅，目前项目已进入设计与谈判阶段，但总建设费用和最终融资方案尚未确定。贝克特说：“目前没有任何因素制约我们推进，因为无论诉讼如何，我们都必须为社区提供服务。”她强调，机场在诉讼期间仍按现有治理架构运营，且过去十年一直如此。这场争议源于2016年州法，该法拟以一个以县和州任命委员为主的区域委员会取代现有的杰克逊机场委员会；相关案件已于今年7月在美国地区法官卡尔顿·里夫斯面前完成庭审，法官尚未作出裁决。机场方面表示，在裁决出炉前，航班与旅客服务不受影响，改造的具体工期将在设计与融资方案确定后公布。
Jackson Airport Takeover Lawsuit Does Not Halt Terminal Overhaul in Hinds County; New Departure Concourse Plan Enters Design Talks
Jackson, Hinds County, Mississippi, October 26 — Rosa Beckett, chief executive officer of the Jackson Municipal Airport Authority, said plans to overhaul the terminal at Jackson-Medgar Wiley Evers International Airport are moving forward even though litigation over control of the airport remains unresolved. Airport commissioners have selected a development team, and the preliminary plan includes a new departure concourse, a single security checkpoint and demolition of the west concourse. The project has entered the design and negotiations stage, but the total construction cost and final financing plan have not been determined. "Right now, there isn't a constraint with us moving forward because we have to deliver the service to the community regardless of the litigation," Beckett said. She emphasized that the airport continues to operate under its existing governance structure while the lawsuit is active, as it has for the past ten years. The dispute stems from a 2016 state law that would replace the current Jackson airport board with a regional board made up mostly of county and state appointees. The case was tried in July before U.S. District Judge Carlton Reeves, who has yet to issue a ruling. The airport said flights and passenger services are unaffected while the ruling is pending, and a construction timetable will be announced once the design and financing plans are set.
