[edit] History
By Spring 2007, Jett8 was expected to obtain from the Government of Singapore an air-operator's certificate and the air-traffic rights required to operate the company's scheduled international network.[3] The airline, headed by Louis Tan, a former Singapore Airlines pilot, was targeting the cargo-charter market, to avoid head-on competition with Singapore Airlines Cargo and other scheduled cargo airlines. On May 31, 2007, Jett8 took delivery of its first aircraft, a Boeing 747-200SF previously operated by Nippon Cargo Airlines.
Jett8 Airlines was previously known as Jett8 Airlines Cargo when it was incorporated in 2005. However, on the 1st of April 2010, the company was renamed Jett8 Airlines.
