A new high-tech international airline may place its technology hub and most of its customer service agents in Salt Lake City.
David Neeleman — founder of JetBlue Airways, Morris Air (which was bought by Southwest Airlines, Canada’s West Jet and Brazil’s Azul — revealed such plans for the new airline he is aiming to start in 2021, which has the working name of Moxy, according to Skift, a news site that covers the airline and travel industries.
If the new airline bases such operations here, it also would likely offer flights here — in part to help move around its corporate employees and to make available the free-flight benefits that are a perk for working for most airlines.
