Information

Referral History:

In December 2015, Airport staff received a request to meet with representatives of JetSuite to discuss a possible new venture at the Buchanan Field Airport. JetSuite was in process of launching a new scheduled charter service business called JetSuiteX and Buchanan Field Airport was one of the northern California airports of interest for this business.

Buchanan Field was selected for the new JetSuiteX scheduled charter service which began in April 2016, to Burbank. If the new service is successful, they may expand service to various cities that are within a 90-minute flight distance from the departure airport. Other connection areas from Buchanan Field may include Las Vegas, Phoenix, Seattle and San Diego. The company uses quiet, modified Embraer 135 jets that have a maximum of 30 seats available per flight, which provides passengers with an upscale cabin experience.

Referral Update:

Continuation of discussion from March 23, 2016 Airport Committee meeting.
