JSX, a semi-private air carrier known as JetSuiteX, has announced plans to expand its fleet with an order for 15 ATR 42-600 aircraft. This decision marks a shift in the U.S. regional aviation landscape, where turboprop aircraft are less common compared to small jetliners operated by feeder carriers for major airlines.
The announcement was made at the 2025 Paris Air Show, where JSX signed a letter of intent for the purchase. The ATR 42-600s will be configured with three-abreast seating, offering a more spacious and luxurious experience for passengers. JSX intends to initially lease two ATR 42s before its own orders start arriving in 2026.
ATR CEO Nathalie Tarnaud Laude expressed satisfaction with the company's achievements, stating: "Momentum around ATR aircraft is strong. (...) [The] milestone of 1,900 aircraft sold since the beginning of the program is a clear vote of confidence from our customers."
