JSX Inc., a small carrier that offers private-jet style travel at close to commercial-jet prices, will cut nearly all of its flights out of Austin after losing access to one of its original operating facilities.
Starting Oct. 1, the carrier will drop as many as three flights a day between Austin and Dallas, according to Ben Kaufman, a spokesman for JSX. It will also cut flights out of the Texas capital to Las Vegas, and seasonal flights to Gunnison/Crested Butte, Colorado. Seasonal winter flights four times a week to Taos, New Mexico, won’t be affected.
