JetBlue will serve Montrose Regional Airport (MTJ) in western
Colorado, just 90 minutes north of the famed ski destination.
JetBlue will be the only airline to offer nonstop service between
Montrose and New England and will offer a new choice for ski-bound
travelers in New York City and Southern California.
“As we take a refreshed approach to evaluating new markets, it’s
clear to us that travelers are increasingly looking for unique
destinations where they can truly escape and enjoy wide open
spaces,” said Andrea Lusso, vice president network planning,
JetBlue. “Telluride, by way of air service in Montrose, is an ideal
destination to add to our route map this season which will help us
diversify the markets we fly to, support our focus city strategies
on the East and West Coasts and connect more customers with the
places they want to go.”
Nestled within Southwest Colorado’s dramatic San Juan Mountains,
Telluride is known for its world-class alpine skiing, awe-inspiring
scenery and vibrant summer festival season. Telluride has been
ranked the #1 Ski Resort in North America by Condé Nast five of the
last six years.
Because of its significant role in the history of the American
West, the core area of Telluride was designated a National Historic
Landmark District in 1964. Colorful Victorian-era homes, clapboard
store fronts, boutiques, art galleries, gourmet restaurants, and
historic buildings are set against a backdrop of 13,000-foot peaks,
and complemented by the modern Mountain Village, a short, free
gondola ride away.
Skiers can glide straight into town and Mountain Village, with
the majority of lodging within walking distance or a short shuttle
(or gondola) ride to the renowned slopes of Telluride – a true
ski-in/ski-out destination.
