JetBlue, Boston’s leading leisure carrier, has announced the addition of more
than 20 percent of airline seats in the New England region by winter 2024.
The
added service and new routes are aimed at connecting more New Englanders to the
leisure
destinations they want to travel to. The airline will add more flights at
Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) and other New England airports as well
as launch service for the first time from Manchester-Boston Regional Airport
(MHT) in Manchester, New Hampshire.
"We are incredibly proud of our strong roots in Boston
and New England, a place that has always embraced our vision for low fares and
superior travel experiences,” said Marty St. George, president of JetBlue. “Our
commitment to Boston and our loyal customers across New England is unwavering
as we continue to innovate and enhance our product. With each new development,
each new route, we aim to deliver even greater comfort and convenience,
ensuring that our customers’ choice is easy, and they always receive the best
that JetBlue has to offer."
JetBlue also continues to reinforce its standing as a
leading carrier offering service throughout Florida. By February 2025, JetBlue
will average more than 225 daily flights from Florida, bringing the airline’s
average peak daily departures from the state up eight percent compared to the
same time in 2023.
Additionally, the airline has replaced more than half of its
Embraer E190 fleet with state-of-the-art Airbus A220 aircraft. This transition
marks a significant upgrade in comfort and efficiency for customers. The A220 brand-new
engines are significantly quieter and more fuel-efficient compared to the E190.
Customers on the A220 will enjoy the new 2x3 seating
configuration with the widest coach seats of any single-aisle aircraft,
extra-large overhead bins, bigger windows for better views, custom mood
lighting and USB-C, USB-A, and AC power outlets at every seat.
“We have already taken delivery of more than 30 A220s and
replaced over 60 percent of our E190s, so this transition is well underway.
Boston, in particular, will heavily benefit from the new planes, as the E190s
operate most frequently out of Logan Airport,” said St. George.
He added, “Whether it's the extra space or the modern
amenities, we believe our customers will love the enhanced travel experience
aboard the A220. With its customer-centered design, the A220 represents our
commitment to providing the best onboard product.”
