Bright Ideas in Travel 2024

"At the end of 2023, public charter jet service JSX announced plans to acquire more than 300 hybrid-electric planes, with the first one entering service as soon as 2028. But the carrier’s equity and social justice work is well underway. JSX is the world’s first air carrier to be certified “Autism Aware” by Autism Double-Checked and has consistently earned a perfect score on the Human Rights Campaign’s Corporate Equality Index, which measures workplace inclusion of LGBTQ+ employees. Through long-standing partnerships, the company also recruits heavily from industry advocacy groups working for equity both in the cockpit and on the tarmac, including the Organization of Black Aerospace Professionals, the National Gay Pilots Association, and the Association for Women in Aviation Maintenance, employing two to three times the number of women pilots than the industry average."
