JetBlue is preparing to occupy even more ground on the transatlantic route. The airline has just announced a new flight plan for theBoston Logan airport. It will soon be linked by JetBlue to two new European destinations: Madrid and Edinburgh. Operations will begin on 22 May. Departure from Madrid is scheduled for 13:30. The return flight leaves Boston at 22:25. On the Edinburgh-Boston route, take-off is scheduled for 12:10pm. The return flight will leave Logan at 22:30. Both flights will be seasonal: the end of operations is set for 24 October.
" Madrid and Edinburgh are two of Europe's most exciting and popular destinations, and we are pleased to offer even more transatlantic travel options to our customers in Boston and New England. "says Daniel Shurz, JetBlue's Head of Revenue, Network and Planning. " Europe continues to be part of our network strategy, as our loyal customers look for JetBlue's signature service and low fares to take them to the best leisure destinations, including across the Atlantic. ".
Three years after its arrival on the European market, JetBlue is continuing its transatlantic expansion. This summer, the airline will link Boston to seven European airports. In addition to Paris, and thus Madrid and Edinburgh, Logan will be linked to two London airports (Heathrow and Gatwick), Amsterdam and Dublin.
" Since the launch of flights to London in 2021, we have been carefully adjusting our European service to maximise value for our customers and our business. "says Mr Shurz. " By aligning our schedule with peak seasonal demand and flying our aircraft to other destinations out of season, we capitalise from a commercial point of view while offering the destinations and experiences our customers love. This approach produces significant results "he continues.
