JetBlue To Fly Alongside Frontier, Southwest, And BreezeAirways Out Of New York’s Long Island MacArthur Airport

JetBlue will offer three Floridian destinations from Long Island.

JetBlue and British Airways had filed a joint application with the DOT.

JetBlue’s three shortest routes are across water, less than 100 miles in length, and compete with Cape Air.

It comes after the carrier reportedly said in February that it was seeking to refinance.

Even with the pandemic, US and Portuguese airlines have continued to add capacity to the market, significantly expanding it.

JetBlue will offer services to Presque Isle Northern Maine Airport (PQI) with an Embraer E190 and later on, with an Airbus A220-300.

However, the company that sued and eventually won the lawsuit, Zunum Aero, has been dormant since October 2018 when it ran out of cash.

Brussels Airport CEO Arnaud Feist tells Simple Flying that North America is a “primary target.”

The amount of TrueBlue points required for a free flight depends on various factors.

The airline plans to open the crew base by the end of the year.
