JetGo took delivery of its first 37-seat Embraer 135 aircraft in March 2012. and was granted an air operator's certificate by the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) in May that year. As of July 2012, JetGo was operating FIFO and charter services throughout Australia. Despite having a business model initially focused on charter operations, following approval by CASA in October 2014, JetGo announced it would begin establishing regular public transport services. The company planned to grow its fleet to as many as 10 aircraft, focusing on longer regional routes in Queensland and New South Wales of between 400. -.
JetGo announced two original routes from Sydney to Roma and Tamworth, both scheduled to commence in November 2014. After delaying the start of Sydney-Roma route however, the airline announced that the services would not proceed.
