US public charter carrier JSX has begun flying the ATR 42-600 twin turboprop on certain routes, marking a notable shift in how the carrier plans to expand its network while maintaining its premium service model. The aircraft are configured with 30 all-premium seats and offer access to airports that are difficult or impossible for jets to serve. JSX has said the aircraft are leased from Silver Airways and will be operated on routes that benefit from shorter runway requirements and improved performance at higher-altitude airports.
