JetBlue Increases Daily Flights From Logan to Key Destinations

NEW YORK-- JetBlue, the top airline in Boston, today announced the next phase of growth at Logan International Airport (BOS) as it advances toward its goal of 200 daily departures. Beginning this summer, JetBlue will add more flights on twelve popular routes while also expanding or adjusting schedules to offer hourly service to Washington, D.C. and the New York metro area. JetBlue already flies to more nonstop destinations, operates more flights and serves more travelers than any other airline.

In a released statement Marty St. George, executive vice president and chief commercial officer of JetBlue said, “JetBlue started building up our Boston operation from the moment we arrived more than fifteen years ago, and long before any other airline recognized the needs of New England’s travelers. The growth set for this year underscores our ongoing commitment to growth in Boston and introducing our award winning service to even more travelers in the years ahead.”

The existing Logan routes which will see increased service are:

Austin–Bergstrom International Airport (AUS)

Charleston International Airport (CHS)

Chicago’s O'Hare International Airport (ORD)

Cleveland Hopkins International Airport (CLE)

Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (DTW)

Nashville International Airport (BNA)

Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR)

Orlando International Airport (MCO)

Philadelphia International Airport (PHL)

Raleigh–Durham International Airport (RDU)

Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA)

Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport (SAV)

JetBlue is adding up to four additional daily flights between Logan and D.C.’s Reagan National Airport and will adjust its schedule to offer near-hourly weekday service – from 6 a.m. until 9:30 p.m. – between New England and the nation’s capital. The new service – with Boston flights departing at the top of the hour – is aimed at meeting the growing demand for travel between the two cities while also offering a customer-friendly, straight-forward departure schedule.

Similarly, JetBlue will also introduce near-hourly weekday service between Boston and the New York metro area with service between approximately 5:30 a.m. and 10 p.m. Logan flights will depart at the bottom of the hour for one of the three major New York area airports: John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK), LaGuardia Airport (LGA) or Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR).

The flight schedule between New York and Boston will be phased in beginning this summer with new flights on sale starting this weekend.

JetBlue has also helped bring new gates to Logan’s Terminal C and recently launched flights to Havana, Cuba, Steamboat Springs, Colo., and Palm Springs, Calif.

JetBlue first started service in Boston in January 2004, with 30 crewmembers. Today, JetBlue carries more customers than any other airline in Boston, operates nearly 55,000 annual departures at Logan and offers nonstop service to more than 70 destinations throughout the U.S., Caribbean and Latin America. Boston is also home to some 3,400 crewmembers.

JetBlue offers worldwide connections from Logan via partner airlines include Emirates, EL AL, Aer Lingus, Etihad Airways and Qatar Airways.

JetBlue carries more than 42 million customers a year to 100+ cities in the U.S., Caribbean, and Latin America with an average of more than 1,000 daily flights.
