What are the immediate consequences of the new TSA rules for by-the-seat private jet operators like JSX, Aero, and XO?

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) issued new rules increasing scrutiny for public charter flights using aircraft weighing over 12,500 pounds, impacting services like JSX, Aero, and XO. These rules, effective in six months unless superseded by executive order, aim to enhance security for flights departing from and arriving at private terminals, potentially raising operational costs for these operators. The changes may increase expenses for impacted operators due to hiring, training, equipment purchases, and potential terminal modifications.
