JetBlue (NASDAQ:JBLU) today announced it is expanding its
existing partnership with Cape Air with a unilateral codeshare
agreement. JetBlue will place its “B6” code on Cape Air flights
between JetBlue’s focus cities in Boston (BOS) and San Juan (SJU)
and Cape Air destinations throughout the northeast and Caribbean.
From both cities, Cape Air operates flights to two dozen
destinations.
JetBlue and Cape Air customers purchasing a codeshare itinerary
will benefit from having a single ticket that includes flights
operated by both carriers, as well as conveniences on their day of
travel like one-stop check-in and baggage transfer.
“No matter how big or small our customers’ hometown or
destination may be, they can be sure JetBlue and Cape Air will make
booking a ticket and traveling more convenient than ever before,”
said Robin Hayes, president and CEO, JetBlue. “And as we mark a
decade of working with Cape Air, we couldn’t be more pleased to
strengthen this important relationship with our original airline
partner.”
JetBlue’s codeshare with Cape Air expands a partnership that was
first formed in 2007 – the very first airline agreement for
JetBlue. Cape Air is recognized for its outstanding customer
service and, with convenient hourly flights to many markets, it
serves some of the most beautiful boutique destinations in the
northeast and Caribbean such as Bar Harbor, Maine; Provincetown,
Mass.; Vieques, Puerto Rico and Tortola, British Virgin
Islands.
“Over the last ten years, we have been incredibly fortunate to
partner with JetBlue on a variety of initiatives, including the
University Gateway Program and interline ticketing,” said Cape Air
President Linda Markham. “The new codeshare agreement further
solidifies our shared commitment to offering an expanded network
and a seamless travel experience for our customers.”
Starting today, the JetBlue code is offered on routes Cape Air
operates from Boston Logan International Airport and San Juan’s
Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport, with all offered routes
available for purchase on jetblue.com with the convenience of a
single click.
