JetBlue ranks number one for third consecutive
year
JetBlue (NASDAQ: JBLU) today proudly announced it has been named
the No. 1 domestic airline in the Travel + Leisure World’s Best
Awards 2021 readers’ survey. Each year, the readers of Travel +
Leisure vote on their favorite airlines, hotels, destinations and
more, with airlines being rated on the following characteristics:
in-cabin comfort, in-flight service, customer service and value.
Travel + Leisure World’s Best Awards 2021 is an essential, trusted
source for inspiration and guidance as travelers once again make
plans to set out on trips around the globe.
“Honors like this from Travel + Leisure serve as a powerful
testament to the award-winning experience we set out to provide our
customers with each and every day,” said Joanna Geraghty, president
and chief operating officer, JetBlue. “Despite our most challenging
year yet, it is clear that the work and dedication of our many
crewmembers continues to make a difference and brighten the journey
for those ready to take back to the skies.”
This recognition comes as the airline celebrates the most
significant year in its history yet. Most recently, JetBlue
officially entered the transatlantic market with new, nonstop
service between New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport
(JFK) and London Heathrow Airport (LHR). The highly anticipated
milestone – aimed at shaking up the transatlantic market with the
airline’s award-winning service and attractive fares – marked the
first time JetBlue has served a destination beyond the 100+ cities
it flies to throughout the Americas. With new service in the United
Kingdom, JetBlue now operates in 26 countries. JetBlue remains on
track to add additional service between the U.S. and the U.K. with
flights between New York-JFK and London Gatwick Airport (LGW)
starting September 29, 2021.
The airline has also expanded its route map in the Americas to
include new domestic and international destinations, including
Miami, Florida; Los Cabos, Mexico; Boise, Idaho; and Kalispell,
Montana.
Over the past year, JetBlue has welcomed a number of new
aircraft to its growing fleet. The airline’s Airbus A321LR is the
first single aisle aircraft to feature the all-new Airspace by
Airbus interior, complementing an entirely reimagined Mint
experience and elevated core product for transatlantic flying. This
past spring, the airline also introduced a domestic version of its
reimagined Mint experience on the new Airbus A321neo (new engine
option) aircraft, which is currently operating select flights
between New York-JFK and Los Angeles International Airport (LAX).
Additionally, JetBlue’s new Airbus A220-300 aircraft offers a fresh
choice for customers flying between the Northeast and Florida.
Simultaneously, the airline has doubled down on its commitment
to New York by announcing that it will maintain its headquarters in
the city and advance plans to expand its flagship terminal at New
York-JFK. These initiatives further strengthen JetBlue’s presence
in New York, where it has already announced plans to substantially
increase flying and bring more low fares and more jobs to JFK,
LaGuardia, and Newark as part of its Northeast Alliance with
American Airlines.
Travel + Leisure World’s Best Awards 2021 is featured in the
October issue of Travel + Leisure, on newsstands September 17, and
