Cal Jet Air by Elite Airways offers daily scheduled service since September 28 out of McClellan Palomar Airport Carlsbad (CLD). Starting with 2 flights per day to Las Vegas, this new service will save North County residents hours of commute time. This is a monumental breakthrough for Carlsbad since this will be the first regularly scheduled jet service ever offered.
The airport was previously served by United Express with flights operated by SkyWest Airlines. In May 2015, United Express ended service to the airport due to the phaseout of their Embraer EMB-120 Brasilia turboprop aircraft as SkyWest then transitioned to all regional jet fleet with these aircraft requiring a runway longer than the airport’s minimal runway length
