Unfortunately that is incorrect, there are several carrier that have been certified under the new guidelines.

Freedom Airlines Domestic
Allegiant Domestic
Virgin America Domestic
EOS Airlines International ops
Max Jet International Ops
Orange Air Domestic

And I am sure that I messed a few.

What most people do not understand is the complexity to start an international airline. First of all the past 6 years, FAA have been severely understaffed and lacks the manpower to support a start up. Currently there are 1100 Aviation operators nation wide waiting for certification, everything from flight schools to Maintenance repair stations.

People talk about the so called Mini evac, you have to consider the logistical nightmare to schedule 18 government employees to meet at one location for a evac demonstration. Government employees that have no incentives to speed the process and do not care about the growth of the company or financial burden.

This is a massive undertaking.
