JAX pickup questions
What starts the JAX pickup approach?
A JAX curb stop is allowed only after the passenger is physically outside. Use that condition, rather than the flight-status change, to decide when the vehicle should approach.
What must happen before the JAX driver leaves staging?
The traveler should have luggage in hand before summoning the driver. Confirm that step directly with the traveler before leaving staging.
What can still change the JAX timing?
Both concourses exit into the public courtyard, which can be used by a legally parked greeter. Recheck the current airport guidance when that condition affects the final approach.
