Franco-Italian aircraft manufacturer ATR announced that public air charter carrier JSX will start its flight operations in the United States.

With the lease of the two aircraft, JSX intends to offer its customers a premium configuration that is part of the ATR HighLine cabin collection. There are also plans to certify and install Starlink high-speed internet connectivity. The aircraft will be fit with 30 premium seats, offering business class legroom, complementary cocktails and inflight gourmet snacks.
This partnership with JSX marks ATR’s entry to the US public charter market.
On top of the lease announcement, JSX also sent ATR a Letter of Intent for 15 new ATR HighLine-equipped aircraft with the option for an additional 10 – either ATR 42-600s with 30 premium seats or All-Business Class ATR 72-600s with 30 seats.
“The ATR -600 series will bring over 1,000 new airports into reach for JSX, expanding access to reliable public charter flights across the great United States. Many of these airports were, until now, reserved only for those who had the means to fly private,” said Alex Wilcox, JSX Chief Executive Officer.
“We are delighted to welcome JSX as a new ATR operator and to see our aircraft entering a dynamic new market segment in the United States. JSX’s unique model, blending the exclusivity of private aircraft-style travel with the efficiency of regional aviation, is a perfect match for our ATR HighLine cabin collection,” said Nathalie Tarnaud-Laude, Chief Executive Officer at ATR.
“This partnership underscores the growing demand for low-emission, high-end air travel, powered by the unmatched performance of turboprop technology. We look forward to supporting JSX’s vision and further reinforcing ATR as the leading choice for regional aviation in the U.S,” Tarnaud-Laude added.
