History

[edit]

JetSMART requested anair operator's certificate (AOC) on 26 January 2017, and received its authorization in June 2017.[4] Initially, the airline operated threeAirbus A320-200 aircraft, but has since taken delivery ofAirbus A320neo aircraft. Initially flying only domestic routes, JetSMART has expanded its presence in the South American market,[5] setting up JetSMART Argentina to access further traffic rights to the country.[6]

On 4 December 2019, JetSmart acquiredNorwegian Air Argentina and took over its operations, staff, and license with immediate effect, with plans to merge the airline with JetSMART Argentina. Following the acquisition, it was to operate both fromAeroparque Jorge Newbery andEl Palomar Airport in the Buenos Aires area. As Norwegian'sBoeing 737 aircraft were not part of the transaction, JetSmart planned to replace them with the airline's own Airbus A320 family aircraft.[7]

On 29 July 2021,American Airlines announced aminority investment in JetSMART, along with agreements to allow members of American Airlines'AAdvantage loyalty program to earnmiles when flying on JetSMART.[8]

On 17 March 2023, JetSMART signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to purchaseUltra Air,[citation needed] and is proceeding with certifying JetSmart as an aircraft operator in Colombia.[citation needed]

On 16 June 2022, JetSMARTcommenced domestic operations inPeru, marking its expansion into a new market.
