JetBlue set for transatlantic debut to London in August
The Peninsula
CHICAGO - JetBlue Airways said on Wednesday it plans to enter the transatlantic market with low-fare flights from New York to London in August, disrupting what is normally one of the world's busiest international routes.
The airline will launch daily flights to London's Heathrow Airport on Aug. 11 and to Gatwick on Sept. 29, it said in a statement. While the COVID-19 pandemic has largely stalled travel between the United States and Britain, it opened the door for JetBlue to secure coveted slots at the two London airports, where it hopes to build a larger presence over time and expand the success of its Mint domestic business-class service.More Related News
