“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,” said Marty St. George,
executive vice president and chief commercial officer, JetBlue. “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.”

More Flights to Top Destinations

JetBlue will phase in more flights over the summer and fall on twelve
existing Logan routes stretching across the eastern half of the United
States to/from:

• 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)

With JetBlue’s low fares and award winning service on even more daily
flights between Boston and these key markets, the airline advances its
leadership position in New England and makes JetBlue’s Boston focus city
even more accessible to travelers across the eastern half of the U.S.

Streamlined Schedules to Key Northeast Markets

JetBlue is also introducing enhanced schedules between Boston and two
top northeast corridor business markets: Washington and New York City.

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. Flights will be
phased in beginning this summer with new flights on sale starting this
weekend.

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). As New York’s Hometown
Airline®, JetBlue’s unique service pattern is designed to meet the needs
of travelers flying between Boston and anywhere across the New York
metro area, whether it be Manhattan, the outer boroughs, Long Island or
northern New Jersey. The flight schedule between New York and Boston
will be phased in beginning this summer with new flights on sale
starting this weekend.

Boston by the Numbers and Beyond

JetBlue first started service in Boston in January 2004, with 30
crewmembers, just one gate and 4,500 flights in the first year. But with
the ‘JetBlue effect’ in action, the innovative airline shook up New
England with its low-fare approach, driving down prices and introducing
new nonstop destinations for Logan travelers.

Today, JetBlue – with award-winning service featuring the most legroom
in coach (a); free Fly-Fi, the fastest broadband internet in the sky
(b); complimentary and unlimited name-brand snacks and soft drinks;
free, live DIRECTV® programming and 100+ channels of SiriusXM® radio at
every seat – 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.

Beyond the numbers, JetBlue has also helped bring new gates to Logan’s
Terminal C, added the airline’s award-winning Mint premium service with
lie-flat seating on a variety of routes, and introduced an array of
unique destinations not served by any other airline – including recently
launched flights to Havana, Cuba; Steamboat Springs, Colo.; and Palm
Springs, Calif.

Later this year, JetBlue will take delivery of new, fuel-efficient A321
NEO aircraft, bringing another wave of cabin and comfort improvements
along with additional range capabilities. Then, starting in 2020,
JetBlue will also steadily replace its EMBRAER E190 fleet with the
larger and more fuel-efficient Airbus A220, providing more seats in the
market at a lower operating cost, and an improved onboard experience.

JetBlue has also built a rich portfolio of agreements with other
international airlines at Logan that help connect customers to global
destinations. Travelers can connect to cities around the world on
JetBlue partners such as Emirates, EL AL, Aer Lingus, Etihad Airways and
Qatar Airways.

JetBlue’s commitment to Boston extends well beyond its presence at
Logan. JetBlue is a proud sponsor of the Boston Red Sox, the Boston
Celtics, the Boston Bruins, the Boston Marathon, TD Garden and the New
England Patriots. The local JetBlue team has also contributed thousands
of hours to support numerous community organizations in the greater
Boston area.
