California Pacific, the new airline with a string of false starts, is finally up and running. After launching flights on November 1st between its home base of Carlsbad, California and San Jose, Reno and Las Vegas, the airline is now set to start flights November 15th to both Mesa Gateway Airport in Arizona, and Las Vegas.
Mesa Gateway is coming off a record September with its fifth consecutive month of record-setting passenger activity. The secondary airport in the “Valley of the Sun” is now gearing up for a number of additional airlines set to arrive in time for the 2018 holiday season. In addition to California Pacific, Canadian low-cost carriers Flair Air and Swoop will also be starting flights this winter. The airport will soon be serving 47 different destinations via 5 different airlines.
In October, the Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport Authority announced that two brand new privately funded hangars would soon be built at the airport. This should lead to increased private and business operations out of the airport. Construction of new office space is also on the agenda, as the airport authority seeks to continue the momentum of its expanding operations.
