FORT LAUDERDALE, Florida — SparkJet ‘s executives and Crew Members celebrated yesterday the successful completion of the first month of operations. “We currently have 19 pilots, have logged over 118 flights adding up to over 291 hours and covering over 95,000 miles. The first month saw SparkJet finances in the black with over a million dollars in revenue for the month of February” said SparkJet CEO Zeke Elias. While there are many more plans in the work behind the scenes at SparkJet headquarters, the management is very secretive about the future strategies for SparkJet, as of last week though a rumor of services to Faa’a International Airport (ICAO: NTAA) in Tahiti has been “lying around the offices and management keeps talking about “Paradise” yet management took a trip to Montreal, Quebec, Canada for undisclosed reasons.
In the meantime, SparkJet is still accepting applications for First Officers, if you’re interested please apply at http://spark-jet.com/index.php/content/careers#close

With the acquisition SparkJet is planning to introduce about 20 frames, at a rate of two per month and is looking at new focus cities around the country.
“Initially only five aircraft, a JS41, two A320’s and two B738’s will be joining the fleet after being retrofitted with the SparkJet product” said SparkJet CEO Zeke Elias. We are adding new destinations that we were not able to previously serve due to fleet constraints.

Portland International Airport (ICAO: KPDX) Once Daily
General Edward Lawrence Logan International Airport (ICAO: KBOS) Twice Daily
Lambert-St Louis International Airport (ICAO: KSTL) Once Daily
Toronto Pearson International Airport (ICAO: CYYZ) Once Daily
