An American airline that offers the private jet experience at business class prices has received widespread criticism from its competitors, who consider its practices dangerous.
Thanks to a loophole in the rules of the American Federal Aviation Agency (FAA), the company JSX managed to sell individual tickets for private jet flights.
While leased planes are not subject to the same strict safety requirements as airliners carrying more than nine passengers, FAA rules prevent them from specifying flight times or destination cities, or from selling individual tickets.
By splitting its operations between two companies, one that sets flight schedules and sells tickets and the other that operates the planes, JSX circumvents these strict regulations. The exploitation of this flaw in the system has drawn widespread criticism of the company from its competitors.
Some have even claimed that this might pave the way for possible terrorist attacks, and that JSX should comply with existing aviation standards. “We have decades of evidence showing that accidents have decreased significantly and safety has improved significantly. Just follow this standard. said Southwest CEO Bob Jordan in an interview with Bloomberg.
The FAA has been called upon by several airlines to take action once morest this flaw in its system, the New York Post reported.
Such changes would prevent the company from offering private jet flights at the low price of US$300 each way, as it currently does.
