Daily Flights Between ‘Music City’ and Two
JetBlue Focus Cities Start Today
JetBlue (NASDAQ:JBLU) today announced the start of its
award-winning service to Nashville International Airport (BNA). The
airline’s inaugural flight departed for the Tennessee state capital
just after 7 a.m. JetBlue will operate two daily roundtrips from
Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) and one daily roundtrip
from Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport.
“With its great mix of business and leisure travelers, and the
city’s extensive list of landmarks and events, Nashville is a
perfect fit for the growing JetBlue network,” said John Checketts,
director route planning at JetBlue. “With daily nonstop flights to
two of our fastest growing focus cities, customers will benefit
from a long list of convenient and affordable travel choices
whether flying to or from ‘Music City.’”
With attractions like the Grand Ole Opry and Country Music Hall
of Fame, frequent festivals and events, more than 120 live music
venues and a growing food and arts scene, Nashville is regularly
ranked as a top U.S. destination for travelers. The city is also
home to one of the most diverse and fastest-growing economies in
the region, with Nashville International Airport handling more than
11 million travelers annually.
“JetBlue is known around the world for its unique brand and keen
focus on customer service,” said Rob Wigington, Metropolitan
Nashville Airport Authority president and CEO. “We are delighted to
welcome them to Nashville International Airport and introduce their
service to Boston and Fort Lauderdale. The Airport Authority is
working constantly to bring more nonstop service and new
destinations to Nashville and Middle Tennessee to better serve our
growing region and visitors.”
“Adding new service in this day and time is a huge statement.
Adding new service with a new carrier is a home run,” said Butch
Spyridon, President and CEO of the Nashville Convention &
Visitors Corp. “JetBlue is a tremendous addition on many levels. We
are honored to be included among their destinations.”
JetBlue announced plans to fly to Nashville in 2015 and it is a
key destination as the airline grows nonstop destinations and daily
flights in both its Boston and Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood focus
cities. In Boston the airline will reach 140 daily flights this
month and is on track to surpass 150 daily flights next year. New
nonstop service includes six-times daily flights to New York City’s
LaGuardia Airport which was just announced last week. In Fort
Lauderdale-Hollywood JetBlue recently announced plans to operate up
to 140 daily flights to nearly 50 destinations including 20 in
Latin America and the Caribbean. JetBlue is the top airline by
customers and flights in both cities.
