Xtra Airways is a charter airline based in Coral Gables, Florida.^[3] The airline is certified by the United States FAA to conduct Domestic, Flag, and Supplemental operations and by the Chile DGAC to conduct Domestic operations using Boeing 737 aircraft.

History

Established in 1987 as Casino Express Airlines, the air carrier began operations in 1989 using Boeing 737-200 jetliners flying exclusively for the Red Lion Hotel and Casino in Elko, Nevada. Casino Express operated 737 jet service from Elko Regional Airport nonstop to many cities in the U.S. In 1994, Casino Express was operating scheduled weekend only flights nonstop between Elko (EKO) and Portland, OR (PDX) and Seattle (SEA) with McDonnell Douglas MD-80 jetliners.^[4] Casino Express Airlines also operated one Boeing 737-200 jetliner for new start-up airline Tahoe Air which provided scheduled passenger air service from the South Lake Tahoe Airport nonstop to Los Angeles International Airport in southern California and also nonstop to San Jose International Airport in northern California. It quickly expanded its customer base to include sports teams, government agencies, foreign dignitaries, press corps, other gaming properties, and other types of public and private charters. It changed its name to Xtra Airways on December 8, 2005, to better reflect its broader focus.^[5] The airline moved its headquarters in June, 2010 to Boise, Idaho,^[6] and again in May, 2015 to Coral Gables, Florida.^[7]^[8]
