JetTrain was an American low-fare airline that operated for less than a year throughout the 1990s. The airline was initially called AirTrain and was later renamed in 1995.

JetTrain operated a fleet of DC-9 aircraft on flights connecting Pittsburgh, Newark, New Jersey, and Orlando, Florida, and eventually expanded to include routes between Boston, Philadelphia, and Nashville.

JetTrain encountered multiple challenges, such as insufficient demand, which made it difficult to attract enough passengers; rising operating costs due to increased jet fuel prices in the 1990s. Which made operating the DC-9s costly and competition from US Airways, whose hubs in Pittsburgh and Philadelphia limited JetTrain's expansion opportunities.

JetTrain served the following destinations throughout its existence:

• Pittsburgh (PIT)
• Newark (EWR)
• Orlando (MCO)
• Boston (BOS)
• Philadelphia (PHL)
• Nashville (BNA)

• Operated 3 different McDonnell Douglas DC-9-31 throughout its history.
