The company took delivery of its first 37-seat Embraer 135 aircraft in March 2012. and was granted an air operator's certificate (AOC) by the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) in May that year. As of July 2012, JETGO Australia 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 plans to grow its fleet to as many as 10 aircraft, focusing on longer regional routes in Queensland and New South Wales of between 400 km and 1200 km that are too long to be serviced comfortably by turboprop aircraft. 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. In February 2015, JETGO also announced that it would suspend its Sydney-Gladstone service, citing poor patronage. Shortly after announcing its inaugural routes, JETGO announced that it would operate services between Brisbane and Tamworth, with up to 10 flights per week. The launch of the route was timed to coincide with the annual country music festival in January 2015. On 1 June 2018 the airline was placed under voluntary administration, and all scheduled passenger operations were suspended. Jonathan McLeod and Bill Karageozis from McLeod Partners have been appointed the airline’s administrators.
