Reinforcing the Growing Demand for Seamless Air Travel, JSX Earns a Top Distinction from Travel + Leisure Readers for the Third Consecutive Year

DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--JSX, the award-winning public charter air carrier redefining air travel, has been named the ‘No. 1 Domestic Airline’ in Travel + Leisure's 2026 World's Best Awards, earning the prestigious publication's highest ranking for the third consecutive year.

Each year, Travel + Leisure readers weigh in on the world's leading travel experiences from hotels and resorts to destinations, cruise lines, airlines, and more through the publication's annual World's Best Awards survey. Recognized as one of the travel industry's most respected accolades, the rankings reflect the experiences that resonate most with today's passionate and discerning travelers. Full results will be posted in the August 2026 print issue and at travelandleisure.com.

At a time when travelers are increasingly prioritizing convenience, efficiency, and comfort, this recognition underscores the growing appeal of JSX's distinctive Customer-first approach to regional flying. By combining the convenience of dedicated private terminals with the attainability of public charter service, JSX eliminates many of the pain points associated with commercial air travel while offering a premium onboard experience at competitive fares.

“Travel + Leisure represents the very best in travel, so to be recognized as our nation’s best air carrier for a third consecutive year is a tremendous honor,” said David Drabinsky, President of JSX. “This award reflects the passion our Crewmembers bring to every flight and the trust our Customers place in us again and again. We’re humbled, inspired, and above all, grateful for the opportunity to make flying easier for travelers.”

Customers flying JSX can check in 20-30 minutes before departure (45 minutes for international flights), and enjoy a spacious 30-seat aircraft with business-class legroom, complimentary high-speed Starlink Wi-Fi, in-seat power, and elevated onboard amenities including gourmet snacks and beverages.
