JetBlue (NASDAQ:JBLU) today announced a series of expanded and
new nonstop routes in its Boston and Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood
focus cities as the airline continues to grow its presence in the
northeast and in south Florida. JetBlue is the largest airline in
both cities and today’s announcement further reaffirms the
airline’s commitment to offer the most and best service in Boston
and Fort Lauderdale.
"JetBlue remains unwaveringly committed to our Boston and Fort
Lauderdale focus cities." said John Checketts, Vice President
Network Planning, JetBlue. "JetBlue's consistent growth,
award-winning service and low fares continue to drive home that
commitment to our New England and Florida customers."
Bigger in Boston
At Boston Logan International Airport (BOS), JetBlue will add
flights on three top routes to offer customers even more travel
choices to meet their needs. Starting October 29, 2017 the airline
will add one additional nonstop daily flight between Boston and
Jacksonville International Airport (JAX), Palm Beach International
Airport (PBI) and Fort Myers’ Southwest Florida International
Airport (RSW). All new flights are on sale starting today.
The added flights at Logan advance JetBlue’s plan to expand its
leadership position in Boston, where it is already the largest
airline. Last fall the airline announced plans to reach 200 daily
flights, and this spring reached 150 daily flights with nonstop
service to more than 60 destinations – more than any other airline
in Boston.
In addition to the core JetBlue experience customers know and
love – with the most legroom in coach, free unlimited snacks and
soft drinks, free Fly-Fi high speed Internet, seatback
entertainment and friendly service – JetBlue is also expanding its
highly successful Mint service for customers in Boston looking for
a premium experience when traveling coast-to-coast and to the
Caribbean.
A fourth daily Mint flight between Boston and Los Angeles
International Airport (LAX) takes off this October, new seasonal
Mint Caribbean service between Boston and St. Maarten’s Princess
Juliana International Airport (SXM) starts in November and Mint
service between Boston and San Diego International Airport (SAN)
begins in December. Additionally, every JetBlue flight between
Boston and San Francisco International Airport (SFO) – like those
between Boston and Los Angeles – is now served by Mint
aircraft.
All customers benefit from JetBlue's new Airbus A321 with Mint
aircraft, which features the airline's new core experience for
customers seated throughout the entire aircraft.
Features of the A321 core interior include 10-inch television
screens offering free entertainment, comfortable seats with the
most legroom in coach (a) and power outlets accessible to all
customers. JetBlue's popular marketplace, a self-serve station full
of free snacks, sodas and water for customers to enjoy at their
convenience, is also available throughout the flight. And all A321
aircraft offer JetBlue's free Fly-Fi high-speed broadband Internet
service when flying over the contiguous U.S. (b), access to
JetBlue's Hub content on personal devices and first-run Hollywood
movies.
JetBlue’s commitment to Boston extends well beyond its presence
at Logan. JetBlue is a proud sponsor of the Boston Red Sox, the New
England Patriots, the Boston Celtics, the Boston Bruins, the Boston
Marathon and TD Garden. JetBlue has also taken part in numerous
community service events in the greater Boston area. Boston, which
opened twelve years ago with 30 crewmembers, is also now home to
more than 3,200.
New Nonstop For FLL
In addition to growth in Boston, JetBlue also announced another
new route going on sale today. The airline will launch daily
nonstop service between Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International
Airport (FLL) and Salt Lake City International Airport (SLC) on
November 16, 2017.
“Offering the new nonstop Salt Lake City service answers calls
from our customers and crewmembers alike,” said Checketts. “The new
flights will link sunny Florida beaches with Utah’s world-class
skiing and mountain resorts, plus allow for convenient connections
throughout the Caribbean and Latin America.”
The new route continues to grow JetBlue’s presence in Fort
Lauderdale where it is the largest airline. Salt Lake City will
become the 56th nonstop destination from Fort Lauderdale and will
also provide a valuable link between the airline’s south Florida
focus city and its Salt Lake Support Center (SSC).The SSC is home
to nearly 2,500 customer support crewmembers.
With the addition of Fort Lauderdale flights, JetBlue will now
operate nonstop service between Salt Lake City and every one of its
focus cities in the continental U.S.
