Massachusetts and JetBlue has become a terrific partner in bringing
those connections to our customers,” said Massport CEO Thomas P.
Glynn. “We are excited for JetBlue’s service to JFK to begin next
year and look forward to the new opportunities – for both
businesses and visitors – it will bring to the heart of the
Commonwealth.”
In New York, JetBlue customers will enjoy traveling through
JetBlue’s award-winning home at JFK’s Terminal 5 where the airline
offers nonstop flights to more than 70 destinations. Service

such as Sarasota, Fla., Antigua, St. Lucia and Cartagena,
Colombia.
Worcester customers can also take advantage of convenient

and seasonal Mint service in the Caribbean. JetBlue has also built
a rich portfolio of interline and codeshare agreements with dozens
