Minneapolis is Largest U.S. Market Not

New Service Brings Refreshed Travel Choice to
Twin Cities Travelers Plus Robust Connection Options Via Boston
JetBlue (NASDAQ: JBLU) today announced it is bringing its
award-winning service and low fares to Minneapolis, which will
become the airline’s 65th nonstop destination from Boston Logan
International Airport. The addition further strengthens JetBlue as
the leading airline in Boston, serving as Logan’s largest carrier
in both number of flights and customers. The airline will operate
three daily roundtrip flights between Minneapolis–Saint Paul
International Airport (MSP) and Boston Logan starting May 3, 2018.
Minneapolis is the largest domestic market not served by JetBlue
and seats are on sale today starting at $89 one way (a).
“As the largest airline in Boston we are answering calls from
our customers who have long asked us to offer our great service and
low fares on this important route,” said John Checketts, vice
president network planning, JetBlue. “And adding Minneapolis–Saint
Paul to our map will give Twin Cities travelers a refreshing new
choice in the air with JetBlue’s long list of perks not matched by
any other airline in the market.”
Minneapolis–Saint Paul attracts more than 30 million visitors
annually and is home to more than a dozen Fortune 500 companies.
The Twin Cities also regularly receive top marks for jobs,
education and quality of life among large American metropolitan
areas. And Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport is a
world-class facility, just 10 miles from both downtown Minneapolis
and downtown Saint Paul, which handles nearly 40 million travelers
each year.
“We have been pursuing air service from JetBlue for several
years and couldn’t be more pleased with their decision to add
Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport to their route map in
2018,” said Brian Ryks, executive director and CEO of the
Metropolitan Airports Commission. “With this service, travelers can
connect on JetBlue in Boston to 60 other cities in the United
States and Caribbean.”
JetBlue is Boston’s largest airline, with up to 150 daily
departures. In addition to the new nonstop choice for flights to
Boston, Minneapolis travelers will also benefit from convenient
connections to popular JetBlue destinations across the U.S. and
throughout the Caribbean and Latin America. Additionally, JetBlue
customers can take advantage of the airline’s more than a dozen
partnerships with international carriers – such as Emirates, El Al,
Aer Lingus, Etihad, Qatar and Cape Air – offering destinations
around the world.
“We are always looking to provide more options to our customers
and this new flight provides just that,” said Massport CEO Thomas
P. Glynn. “JetBlue has been a terrific partner for Logan Airport
and we look forward to seeing this new service to Minneapolis–Saint
Paul take off.”
