JetSuiteX Delays Service to Santa Monica Airport

IRVINE, Calif., Feb. 1, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- JetSuiteX announced today that they have entered into a Standstill Agreement with the city of Santa Monica concerning JetSuiteX's planned operations at Santa Monica Airport. The agreement is designed to give the parties time to come to a final agreement.  Flights to Santa Monica Airport were originally scheduled to launch on February 6th, with destinations including Carlsbad, San Jose and Las Vegas. In the interim, JetSuiteX has agreed not to operate at Santa Monica prior to February 15th, 2017. To avoid uncertainty and confusion, JetSuiteX has cancelled all flights to/from or connecting through Santa Monica from February 6th through February 24^th and will issue full refunds for all affected customers. 

CEO Alex Wilcox said, "Given the uncertainty surrounding the status of the airport we have entered into this standstill agreement to provide time for an orderly process to negotiate with the city. We apologize to our clients, over half of whom are Santa Monica residents, who have been adversely affected by the unprecedented recent events concerning SMO airport."

In a few short weeks, JetSuiteX sold flights to over 1,000 customers, over half of whom are residents of Santa Monica who saw JetSuiteX as a great solution to save over two hours of time round-trip and avoid the congestion of flying from LAX. The city's agreement to shorten the runway was made with no public or user input.

Angelenos can still take advantage of JetSuiteX flights from Burbank, with destinations including Concord CA, Mammoth Lakes CA, Las Vegas NV and Bozeman MT.

Flights may be purchased by visiting jetsuitex.com, or by downloading the JetSuiteX app on iOS.
