History

On December 20, 2011, Cal Jet Air announced that it would start flying direct flights to Laughlin, Nevada for The Riverside Resort Hotel & Casino in Laughlin, Nevada. On January 8, 2012, Cal Jet Air started flying to Laughlin, Nevada from 6 United States cities. These flights were being operated by Xtra Airways on a Boeing 737-400.

On January 21, 2012, Cal Jet Air announced nonstop service from Los Angeles, California to Loreto, Baja California Sur, April 21, 2012, to December 31, 2012. They partnered with Villa del Palmar Beach Resort & Spa at the Islands of Loreto, Baja California Sur.[7] Cal Jet Air's inaugural flight to Loreto, Baja California Sur on April 21.[8] These flights were operated by Xtra Airways on a Boeing 737-400.

On November 5, 2012, Cal Jet Air announced nonstop service to Mazatlan, Mexico from Los Angeles, Denver, Oakland, Houston, and San Antonio.[1][2][9][10] The pilot program begins January 9, 2013, and ends April 9, 2013, with nine weekly flights of 150-passenger capacity (1,350 total seats per week)[6] The announcement follows extensive research conducted by Mexico Tourism Board on air connectivity, airline efficiency and air capacity from major American markets, in particular, which shows that Mazatlán needs more air seats to keep up with growing demand. As a consequence, the government of Sinaloa invested in this strategic partnership with Cal Jet whereby increased investment in marketing will, in turn, create increased inbound airline activity to Mazatlán.[1][5][9] Flights will be operated by Xtra Airways on a Boeing 737-400 with 138 comfort class seats and 12 first class seats.

On January 30, 2013, the Cal Jet Air announced that the Mazatlan service would end February 5, 2013 over two months early, due to low bookings and a withdrawal of support from the Sinaloa government. Passengers booked for travel after February 5, 2013 will be offered refunds.[11]
