[edit] History

The airline was established in late 2004 by the current owners of Trans States Airlines. GoJet was supposed to start on August 4, 2005, but began scheduled passenger services on October 4, 2005 instead. The airline received its initial Air Carrier Operating Certificate in September of 2005. The initial fleet consists of fifteen 66-seat Bombardier CRJ-700 regional jets.

The ATC Call sign was changed effective October 1, 2007 from GATEWAY to LINDBERGH.[2] This may be due to the use of the similar sounding callsign GETAWAY by USA 3000 Airlines.[original research?]

Trans States Holdings, Inc. the parent company of GoJet also owns Trans States Airlines.
