Airline to Launch New Six-Times Daily Service
Between LaGuardia and Logan,With Fares Starting at $49 (a)
With FAA Designation Change JetBlue to Expand
Travel Choices for Newark Customers
JetBlue (NASDAQ:JBLU), New York’s Hometown Airline™ and the
largest carrier in Boston, today announced new service that will
enhance options in the New York metropolitan area and bring Boston
customers increased choices for travel to New York.
Starting on Monday, October 31, 2016, JetBlue will offer
six-times weekday service between LaGuardia Airport (LGA) and Logan
International Airport (BOS). The airline will also offer two
roundtrips on Saturdays and three roundtrips on Sundays. With the
new route, JetBlue will operate flights between Boston and all
three of New York City’s major airports, providing even more travel
options for customers in both of the airline’s northeast focus
cities. Seats are available for purchase beginning today with fares
as low as $49 one-way (a).
JetBlue today also announced it is expanding its presence at
Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR), enabled by the Federal
Aviation Authority’s recent decision to ease limits on scheduled
flights at the popular northern New Jersey airport. The airline
will add frequencies between Newark and five of its most popular
Florida destinations:
- Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International
Airport (FLL)
- Orlando International Airport
(MCO)
- Tampa International Airport (TPA)
- Palm Beach International Airport
(PBI)
- Fort Myers’ Southwest Florida
International Airport (RSW)
With two additional daily frequencies to Fort
Lauderdale-Hollywood and one additional daily frequency to each of
the other Florida cities, JetBlue will now operate up to 30 daily
flights out of Newark. The new schedule will begin Sunday, October
30, 2016 with seats on sale starting this Sunday, May 1, 2016.
“Increased competition in the congested New York market opens
the door to better service and lower fares for our hometown New
York customers,” said Robin Hayes, president and chief executive
officer, JetBlue. “The FAA’s decision to ease slot restrictions at
Newark allows us to bring more low-fare, award-winning service to
Newark, and clears the way for a long overdue alternative between
LaGuardia and Boston for those who have been priced out of air
travel and onto the roads and rails by high-fare legacy
carriers.”
Flights between Logan and LaGuardia will be operated on
JetBlue’s Embraer 190 aircraft, which feature the most legroom in
coach (b) and spacious two-by-two seating. All customers are
treated to the airline’s awarding-winning service, complimentary
live television and 100+ channels of SiriusXM® radio at every seat,
unlimited name-brand snacks and soft drinks and free Fly Fi –
JetBlue’s broadband internet (c).
The new flights between Logan and LaGuardia are part of
JetBlue’s plan to reach and surpass 150 daily flights in Boston
where it is the No. 1 airline in both flights per day and
destinations served. The LaGuardia flights are among the latest key
business routes for travelers in both New York and Boston and will
offer customers a new travel option and JetBlue’s 62nd nonstop
destination from Boston.
