Narrative:
On final jump run at 13;500 feet; I saw an airliner climbing up through our drop zone toward the northeast. I've been flying skydive operations every weekend for almost three years. I follow the same procedure at all times and maintain constant communication between ATC and advisory. No one gave us any kind of alert that traffic would be coming through drop zone and when I notified ATC they paused. After a few seconds I asked if they copied my traffic report and they did confirm. Nothing else was said regarding the matter. I am very diligent about complying with ATC instruction and suggestions when I fly skydive operations and they are very good at giving me a nice picture to visualize if anyone is in the area. This is the closest I've seen an aircraft that was unexpected in our drop zone.
