Overview
- JSX formally showcased its first 30-seat ATR 42-600 this week after starting Santa Monica–Las Vegas service in December 2025, and it will launch Santa Monica–Scottsdale flights on January 22, 2026.
- Service between Santa Monica and Las Vegas increases to twice daily immediately, with three daily flights scheduled from February 5, 2026, according to the carrier.
- JSX says it will operate four ATR 42-600s in early 2026, each in a premium 30-seat layout that mirrors its Embraer jet capacity while accessing shorter runways.
- ATR received FAA approval in December for an avionics modification permitting operations at airports up to about 11,000 feet in elevation, expanding potential Mountain West markets for JSX.
- The ATRs are leased aircraft that previously flew with Silver Airways, Starlink inflight connectivity is planned pending certification with installs targeted for February, and the evaluation builds on a June 2025 letter of intent for up to 25 ATRs.
