The top executive of a Southern California private charter airline says the Golden State’s hostile business environment propelled his company’s decision to relocate to Texas.
“Not being viewed as an enemy, but being viewed as an asset is so refreshing,” said Alex Wilcox, Chief Executive Officer of JetSuite Inc., who, on Thursday, spoke to the Dallas Business Journal. He described the air carrier’s decision to move to North Texas this summer as a “welcome change.”
He even shared a glaring example of one difference between California and business-friendly Texas. “I tried to start flying out of Santa Monica, California. And they sued me because I was trying to bring a service to the city,” said Wilcox. “When I got to Dallas, literally, people in City Hall were like, ‘How can we help you?’”

Good for you and your business.
ReplyDeleteThe presence of yet another private charter airline servicing Santa Monica threatened the bottom line of the existing lines. Politicians were lobbied and the door was closed.
ReplyDeleteCalifornia is nothing but a cesspool
ReplyDeleteDon't be amazed folks. This is going on right now in the state of Maryland. Hogan had to beg McCormick not to leave the state. A couple of tax credits helped sweeten the deal. And that leads me to Salisbury. I know 2 business owners who would love to expand in this area. BUT NOT IN DA BURY. They are both looking to Accomack County VA.
