JetBlue now has a third transatlantic destination, as
nonstop service between New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport and
Amsterdam Airport Schiphol begins today. Service from Boston Logan
International Airport to Amsterdam will launch on September 20. Amsterdam
follows the airline’s successful launch of London service in August 2021 and
Paris in June 2023.
“JetBlue’s transatlantic service has proven to lower fares
and benefit customers in markets that have suffered for decades from high fares
by legacy carriers,” said Robin Hayes, CEO, JetBlue. “We look forward to
introducing our award-winning Mint and core service to business and leisure
customers traveling to and from Amsterdam.”
“It is a pleasure to welcome JetBlue to Amsterdam Airport
Schiphol and their contribution to Schiphol’s network,” said Ruud Sondag,
president and CEO of Royal Schiphol Group. “Most importantly, with JetBlue
deploying their new Airbus A321neo LR aircraft, they contribute to noise
reduction and sustainability efforts.”
