JSX has taken another award, this time Forbes Travel Guide’s Best Small Airline.

The Verified Air Travel Award winners will be honored at The Summit.

Forbes Travel Guide’s annual event celebrates travel and luxury.

The event is scheduled for Monaco on February 23 to 26, 2027.

“As commercial airlines start cashing in on different business class tiers, the Dallas-based semi-private carrier has been catering to these kinds of travelers for 10 years,” per Forbes Travel Guide.

The ratings company is independent of the Forbes media platform.

JSX has become popular via its use of private terminals.

It operates as a scheduled charter, and flyers book seats via its website.

It regularly gets the nod from Travel & Leisure, Condé Nast, and other awards lists.

The winners were then determined by an invitation-only survey of “nearly 9,000 of the most well-traveled people in the hospitality industry, including luxury travel advisors and our most frequent fliers—incognito travel inspectors and training team members.”

Results were “validated by the experts at Forbes Travel Guide” per the announcement.

The 68-year-old star ratings system uses incognito evaluations by expert inspectors to rate hotels, restaurants, spas, and ocean cruise ships each year.

Emirates was named Best International Airline.

Delta Air Lines was top among U.S. carriers.
