New operator wanted: Is the world’s most mysterious airline about to go bankrupt?

There is probably no other airline with this much buzz around it. He doesn’t even have a name. Aviation experts call them Janet Airlines. Boeing 737-600 aircraft depart from Las Vegas International Airport every day.

Only: You cannot buy tickets for flights. The airline does not fly for tourists. Instead, it brings US soldiers or secret service employees to some of the most secretive military locations in the US. Aviation portal Aerotelegraph writes like the legendary Area 51.

Terminal not visible

The airline has been operating for a long time. It’s been around since the 1970s. There are no publicly available documents or documentation regarding the airline’s flights. As they say in America, everything is confidential. So it’s top secret.

It is little wonder that even the terminal from which Janet flew is not shown on official maps. The fleet is certainly impressive: Janet operates a fleet of six Boeing 737-600s that once flew for Air China. Plus five Beech King Air. This shows how important the airline is to Americans.

And yet: The level of secrecy is high: there is no writing on planes. There is just a simple red stripe on the side. The hitherto secret airline was operated by service provider Aecom. But this is changing now.

Secret Service checks meticulously

The US Air Force is looking for Janet’s new operator. “The government needs safe and reliable air transportation between various points in the continental United States,” according to the Nov. 7 request for proposals.

The requirements are strict. Crew members must be subjected to rigorous vetting by the Secret Service. The tender for the new operator states that the contractor will fly to four destinations within a radius of approximately 300 miles per day, seven days a week. The government requires up to 190 missions per week. These are very serious demands.
