San Diego, CA – The Department of Transportation (DOT) has granted Intellijet Airlines final approval to begin operations. The announcement comes after months of regulatory compliance checks for the newly-formed FAR Part 121 low-cost carrier. “This is a huge step, obviously there’s still a lot of work ahead of us, but we’re much closer to getting off the ground,” said Intellijet CEO Ed Warwick. “We’ve been working around the clock to make sure the DOT had everything they needed and we’re very pleased with their decision.” IntelliJet is set to receive three Boeing 737-800s on lease from Air Lease Corporation, and is currently engaged in negotiations to receive an additional aircraft by mid-summer. These aircraft will be used to serve 16 destinations throughout the United States and Mexico from the company’s base in San Diego (SAN). The company is aiming to begin scheduled flights as early as June.
