Getting out of town, especially these days, can be a hassle. Road trips need rest stops, and flights need to go through T.S.A. But there is a better way. JSX has a dozen planes with 30 passenger capacity that go between private hangars/airports. There is no line, so it certain beats taking off from, say, LAX.
JSX is not a commercial airline, so there is no need for T.S.A security checks. There is a background check when one purchases a ticket, and a thermal sensor at the gate that alerts to anything over 100.4 degrees. Security is conducted by metal detectors and an “airport-service concierge”, which checks bags. Then, the bags are sanitized then loaded onto the plane. Because there are no overhead bins, no one is leaning over your head before the flight, cramming bags above you. When the flight arrives, the bags are re-sanitized and left out for passengers. There are also plastic shields between seats and rows.
Masks are mandatory. When people arrive without one and ask for one, they are told that masks are $3 each, which causes them to produce their own masks. After the plane leaves, the staff wipe down the entire lounge with clorox. Even though the routes are open to many places are reopening, JSX expects its airports to remain calm, because people probably still down want to travel. “‘But it’s all about restoring confidence in people.’”
