JetBlue Announces Two New International Routes to Paris
JetBlue announced this week plans to expand its transatlantic offerings to Europe with new service to Paris. There are two new routes planned from New York and Boston, with launch dates for next summer.
Paris will be JetBlue’s second transatlantic destination following the airline’s successful launch of service to London in August 2021, where it has quickly grown its schedule to five daily flights between the United States and the United Kingdom. With service to both London and Paris, JetBlue will play a unique role in disrupting high-fare legacy carriers that have used joint ventures and global alliances to dominate these routes for decades.
“JetBlue is offering something completely unique to what you get from the big global legacy airlines on these routes – where a single high-fare joint venture operates nearly three-quarters of the flying,” said Robin Hayes, chief executive officer, JetBlue. “The response to our London service is proof that combining great service with low fares works. We can’t wait to bring our reimagined Mint and core offerings to Continental Europe’s most visited city.”
JetBlue plans to launch nonstop service between New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) and Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG) in summer 2023, and will later add nonstop service between Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) and Paris-CDG. Seats are expected to go on sale in the coming months.
JetBlue plans to offer flights to Paris from both cities as it continues to grow its relevance in the Northeast with new routes most frequently requested by customers. France is the world’s most visited country and is on track to reach nearly 75 million visitors this year, with equally strong travel trends expected in 2023.
JetBlue’s new service at Paris-CDG gives the airline a high visibility presence at the major global hub where it can further establish a new customer base of travelers looking to fly between Europe and the U.S.
“With so much pent up demand, JetBlue is just in time to have their American customers experience the vitality and diversity of France’s offerings,” said Anne-Laure Tuncer, Director USA Atout France and regional coordinator for the Americas. There are also exciting upcoming sporting events – such as the Rugby World Cup 2023 and the Paris Summer Olympic and Paralympic Games 2024.

Maybe I’ll save my points for this in 2024…
St. Louis sounds french. Add that Jetblue.
Good to know. But I’d be happier with one plane put back on their SJC – JFK route.
