OneJet (Pittsburgh International) has secured USD2.5 million in fresh capital to fund its operational expansion at Pittsburgh International.
In a statement, the carrier said the State of Pennsylvania and the Redevelopment Authority of Allegheny County had provided it with USD500,000 each in loans to support necessary investments in employees, equipment, and infrastructure. The partnership follows alongside private investment from local corporate leadership, including that of James Rohr, former Chairman of PNC, and Thomas Tull, co-owner of the Pittsburgh Steelers, with a private/public commitment of USD2.5 million in total.
As previously reported, OneJet will connect at least ten destinations with Pittsburgh. The routes, which will be gradually rolled out over the next two years, will cater specifically to some of Pittsburgh’s largest corporate employers.
A virtual public charter carrier, OneJet employs Hawker 400s operated by Corporate Flight Management (Smyrna).
