Depending on whether you are referring to the intense exhaust (jet blast) on the ground or the swirling atmospheric disruption (wake turbulence) in the air, a jet’s displaced air can last for up to 3 minutes and travel over 10 miles.
Airliners landing one after another are often warned about wake turbulence from other planes up to 10 miles in front of them.

Wake turbulence - Thanks
Couldn’t think of the name.
Jet exhaust blast tends to be a little “warmish”. Couple of F4s. Thought I had all the running ones pegged. Missed a couple - Oops...
I was on a MJ-1 bomblift.
