30-Minute Flights: The Curious Case Of Area 51’s Secret Airline

JANET might be one of the strangest airlines operating in plain sight. From a private terminal located at Harry Reid International Airport (LAS) in Las Vegas, Nevada, the carrier operates a nondescript fleet of mostly white aircraft with red lines. The airline primarily serves to shuttle government, military, and contractor personnel to some of the most heavily guarded aviation sites in the United States, including Groom Lake, also known as Area 51. Another site the airline serves is the Tonopah Test Range.
