Dallas-based business jet charter operator JetSuite has grounded its all-Embraer fleet—four Phenom 100s and eight Phenom 300s, as reported in October—and furloughed most of its crewmembers as the Covid-19 crisis drags on, according to a statement posted to the company’s website on Thursday. However, sister company JSX (formerly JetSuiteX) appears to be operating its scheduled flights on 15 Embraer ERJ-135s and seven ERJ-145s.
