JetBlue announced a new codeshare agreement that would make Air
Serbia-operated flights available on JetBlue.com.
On July 26, JetBlue started adding the “B6” airline code on
Air Serbia-operated nonstop flights from New York City’s John F. Kennedy
International Airport and Chicago's O'Hare International Airport to Belgrade’s
Nikola Tesla Airport.
“We continuously look to expand our partnerships to offer
more options to our customers,” JetBlue chief executive officer Robin Hayes
said. “Air Serbia has been a successful interline partner since 2016 and we see
great potential with this new codeshare.”
“We welcome customers from Air Serbia aboard our flights, so
they can experience our low fares and great service,” Hayes continued.
The American carrier also unveiled plans to add its code to other
flights between Belgrade and points in Europe over the coming months, with Air
Serbia adding their “JU” airline code to 25 destinations throughout the JetBlue
network.
“We are very pleased with the future collaboration with
JetBlue and believe that this significantly enhances the travel possibilities
between the United States and destinations within the Air Serbia network,
especially those in the broader Balkan region,” Air Serbia CEO Jiri Marek said.
Earlier this week, JetBlue announced during a quarterly
conference call that it made a modest profit in the second quarter and beat Wall
Street expectations, but would have to cut back its yearlong profit views due
to the dissolution of the Northeast Alliance with American Airlines.
