JANET AIRLINES
Janet Airlines is the unofficial name of a highly classified fleet of passenger aircraft operated for the USAF as an employee shuttle to transport military, DoD civilians, and contractor employees to Special Access Program Facilities (SAPF). The airline mainly serves the Nevada Test and Training Range (Area 51 and the Tonopah Test Range) from a private terminal at Las Vegas’s Harry Reid International Airport.
The airline’s aircraft are generally unmarked aside from a red cheatline along the aircraft’s windows.
The Janet fleet consists of six Boeing 737-600s painted white with a red line. The aircraft are registered to the USAF, while earlier aircraft were registered to several civil aircraft leasing corporations. Before the arrival of the 737-600s, Janet operated Boeing 737-200s, some of which were modified from military T-43A aircraft.
Due to the airline’s secretive nature, little is known about its organization. It is presently operated for the USAF by defense contractor Amentum through the company’s acquisition of AECOM’s defense contracting ventures. Originally the service was operated by EG&G, and later URS Corporation
The primary airline callsign is “Janet,” though flights transition to alternate callsigns, called Groom Callsigns once transferred over to Groom Lake from Nellis control. The name typically changes, and the number will be the last 2 digits of the flight number +15.
