California Pacific Airlines (Carlsbad) now hopes to launch scheduled passenger operations at the end of March pending FAA certification. The new airline plans to operate  from Carlsbad (located between San Diego and the Los Angeles area) to Oakland, Sacramento, and San Jose, Phoenix, Arizona, Las Vegas, Nevada, and later to Cabo San Lucas in Baja, Mexico.

The airliner has since been re-registered as N760CP, after the local telephone area code. N760CP is seen at the McClellan-Palomar Airport in Carlsbad, California on the Pacific Ocean coast.
