The airline launched its first transatlantic flights to London in 2021, and recently started services from both Boston and New York to Amsterdam.
The latest route announcements will bring JetBlue’s transatlantic network to six European destinations from a mixture of Boston and New York JFK – Amsterdam, Dublin, Edinburgh, London Gatwick, London Heathrow and Paris CDG.
Commenting on the news Robin Hayes, chief executive officer, JetBlue, said:
“The success of our transatlantic service proves customers don’t have to choose between great service and low fares and can have them both with our award-winning Mint and core products.
“Our summer seasonal service to Dublin and Edinburgh will bring a new level of service and affordable fares to these markets that have been dominated by high-fare legacy carriers for decades.
“We look forward to introducing the JetBlue experience to business and leisure customers traveling this summer to and from Ireland and Scotland.”
