JetBlue Airways To Add New Flights With Focus On Atlanta

In a bid to expand, JetBlue Airways Corporation (NASDAQ:JBLU) aims to expand its Atlanta service to three of its focus cities. To this end, the low-cost carrier announced the date for commencement of flights connecting Hartsfield – Jackson Atlanta International Airport with three of the airline’s focus cities. The service is expected to start from Mar 8, 2018. Following this, JetBlue will double the number of daily flights in Atlanta.

Flights connecting Atlanta to New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport as well as Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport will operate twice daily, whereas, services between Atlanta and Orlando International Airport will operate once daily. The carrier’s initial plans to serve these cities were made last year. This move will add to the existing nonstop services to Boston Logan International Airport, launched in March this year and already plying five times daily.

Tickets on each of the three routes are currently on sale with one-way fares starting at $64.

All Atlanta flights will operate on JetBlue’s Airbus A320 aircraft, featuring a comfortable seating, complimentary and unlimited branded snacks, free Fly-Fi high-speed wireless Internet, more legroom in coach and various other modern amenities.
