JetBlue and Aer Lingus Expand Codeshare Agreement
JetBlue Airways today announced an expansion of its codeshare partnership Aer Lingus. As part of the new bilateral codeshare, JetBlue is now placing its “B6” code on four Aer Lingus routes between JetBlue’s Northeast focus cities and Ireland.
These four routes include New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) to Dublin Airport (DUB) and Shannon Airport (SNN) as well as Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) to the same two destinations.
JetBlue and Aer Lingus customers purchasing a codeshare itinerary benefit from having a single ticket that includes flights operated by both carriers. It also adds conveniences on their day of travel like one-stop check-in and baggage transfer. Additionally, customers traveling to the U.S. from Ireland benefit from pre-clearing customs prior to departing Dublin and Shannon. That allows them to quickly go through the airport and on their way to enjoy their visit in New York or Boston.
This JetBlue and Aer Lingus partnership first launched in 2008 and in 2013 the airlines announced a unilateral codeshare agreement. Today the Aer Lingus “EI” code is available on more than three dozen JetBlue routes.
Aer Lingus will operate 16 transatlantic routes from Dublin, Shannon and Manchester, UK to North America and the Caribbean in 2022. Ireland’s national carrier is a member of International Airlines Group (IAG), one of the world’s largest airline groups.
