" Our recently launched service to Amsterdam from New York has already been a great success and we are delighted to extend our low fares and excellent service to Amsterdam to our customers in Boston." says Dave Clark, Head of Revenue and Planning at JetBlue. " The addition of non-stop service to Amsterdam benefits business and leisure customers who have suffered from decades of high fares from traditional carriers, and gives our customers more options in our New England gateway city." he continues.
Martha Sheridan, CEO of Meet Boston, points out that "for us, the Netherlands is a very important foreign source market, which sends out over 30,000 visitors in our region, which inject over 35 million dollars in our regional economy. JetBlue's expansion into key European markets is an essential way for Boston to regain its share of the international visitor market.
