BEDFORD, Mass. — JSX, the “hop-on” public charter airline that sells private-terminal flights by the seat, will begin flying from Hanscom Field in Bedford in February 2027, its first service anywhere in New England.[1] Flights to the New York City area start Feb. 8 and flights to Miami start Feb. 11, and seats can already be booked.[2] The story is part of our business and finance coverage.

The routes and the schedule
JSX announced the routes on Tuesday, Nov. 10. It will fly out of Jet Aviation’s private terminal at Hanscom.[1] The New York flights land at Teterboro Airport in New Jersey, which JSX sells as New York City service.[1] Rules prevent the airline from naming Teterboro in its marketing.[3]
There will be four flights each weekday to Teterboro, two on Saturdays and three on Sundays.[2] The Miami flights go to Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport once a day on Mondays and Thursdays through Sundays.[1] The Miami route is seasonal and runs until May 2027, while the Teterboro route is year-round.[4]
New York passengers must join Club JSX, the airline’s free loyalty program, because of Port Authority rules.[2] Seats can be booked on the JSX website and app or through partners JetBlue and United.[2]
How JSX works
JSX was founded in 2016. With Hanscom, it flies to 29 airports in the U.S. and Mexico, using a fleet of 56 Embraer ERJ-family jets and four ATR 42-600 turboprops.[2]
Passengers skip the big commercial terminals and can arrive 20 to 30 minutes before departure. Fares include two checked bags, snacks, drinks and Starlink Wi-Fi, and there are no middle seats. Passengers are screened through TSA Secure Flight and walk-through metal detectors.[2] Self-parking is generally not available at its private terminals, so travelers are dropped off or pay for valet parking.[2]
CEO Alex Wilcox said in a statement that “Greater Boston is a natural fit for our unique approach to flying.”[2]
What it means for Hanscom
Hanscom Field director Chris Willenborg welcomed the service. “We’re excited JSX has chosen Hanscom to operate these flights,” he said in a statement.[1]
JSX first laid out its Hanscom plans at an advisory commission meeting in September. At that time it was aiming for a January start and had also proposed flights to Naples, Florida. Naples was not part of this week’s announcement.[1]
The new routes link Hanscom to two of the country’s busiest private-jet airports. Teterboro ranks first in the U.S. for private jet flights and Opa-Locka ranks seventh, while Hanscom ranks 20th.[3]
The launch comes as private aviation at Hanscom is under a spotlight. This week, opponents of a separate plan for 17 new private-jet hangars at the airport delivered a petition to Gov. Maura Healey. Boston’s main airport has also been busy: Logan reopened Runway 27 after a fall closure.
Our Take
Opinion. A $199 seat to the New York area from a suburban airport with short check-in times is a real option for Route 128 business travelers who now drive to Logan. The bigger question is local. JSX is adding regular flights at a time when Hanscom’s neighbors are pushing back on more private aviation, and how those towns react to the new service will be worth watching.
