SANTA ANA, Calif. (CNS)—A federal judge granted a temporary restraining order on Dec. 23 blocking Orange County from denying a permit for a private jet service from operating on the corporate jet side of John Wayne Airport.
It could be a short-lived victory, however; the lease expires at year’s end, and it is unlikely to be renewed by ACI Jet, the airport’s fixed-base operator (FBO), because county and Newport Beach officials have objected to the company, JSX, operating in the general aviation side of the airport.
