NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwired
- March 10, 2014) - In the news release, "JetBlue Launches
52nd Non-Stop Route out of Boston, Service to Detroit Begins,"
issued earlier today by JetBlue (NASDAQ: JBLU), we are advised by
the company that the headline should read, "JetBlue Launches 51st
Non-Stop Route out of Boston, Service to Detroit Begins," as it is
the 51st nonstop route from Boston Logan Airport, not the 52nd.
Complete corrected text follows.
JetBlue Launches 51st Non-Stop Route out of Boston, Service to
Detroit Begins
Celebratory Fares Available Today and Tomorrow Only, Starting at
$79 One Way for Travel March 18 - May 22, 2014 (a)
NEW YORK, NY -- March 10, 2014 -- JetBlue Airways
(NASDAQ: JBLU) today added Detroit
Metro Airport to its growing route network. The airline now offers
51 non-stop routes and up to 128 daily departures out of Boston
Logan International Airport, where JetBlue is the largest carrier.
To celebrate the new route, which will be operated three times
daily, flights between Boston and Detroit are on sale starting at
$79 one way (a) for travel on Mondays - Thursdays and Saturdays
between March 18 and May 22, 2014 (blackout dates April 10 to April
28, 2014,). Tickets must be purchased by midnight tomorrow, March
11. 7-day advance purchase required.
"Today we strengthen our offering from Boston, while also
bringing our low fares and award-winning service to Detroit and one
of the most overpriced markets in the U.S.," said Dave Barger,
JetBlue's CEO. "Detroit is also home to the largest Arab community
in America and we are excited that our code-share partner Emirates
today launches its Boston-Dubai service, which will provide our
customers with seamless connections to and from Detroit. This route
will also connect well with Turkish Airlines, when their
Boston-Istanbul service begins on May 12."
Detroit has for years been a high-fare market, which JetBlue's
entry will hopefully change. JetBlue has also been cited by an
independent study from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology
(MIT) as the low-cost carrier that lowered fares the most when it
began service in a new U.S. market in 2012. The JetBlue Effect, MIT
says, lowered fares $32 one way on average (b).
