CARLSBAD — Amid JSX’s announcement it has relocated operations from San Diego International Airport to McClellan-Palomar Airport, the air carrier is locked in a fierce battle with the Federal Aviation Administration, major airlines and labor unions.
The issue stems from SkyWest Airline, which plans to create SkyWest Charter, to operate flights under fewer regulations than major carriers. JSX, which services Las Vegas and will begin service to Taos, N.M., on Dec. 14 from Carlsbad, is also a target of opponents, according to Chief Executive Officer Alex Wilcox.
