JSX has not even launched its Santa Monica service yet, and it is already announcing more flights.
As I wrote previously, JSX is positioning Santa Monica as a frictionless alternative to LAX and other crowded Los Angeles area airports, with a private terminal experience and a short curb-to-seat timeline. The appeal is obvious for travelers on the Westside, especially when the alternative is a perpetually busy LAX.
Under the new expansion plan, JSX will launch daily nonstop service between Santa Monica and Scottsdale Airport (SCF) starting January 22, 2026. Scottsdale is a logical addition, pairing the Westside of Los Angeles with a major leisure and business destination in Arizona that also fits neatly into the short-haul, high-comfort niche JSX is selling.
