JetBlue to Add 30 New Routes and Launch Mint at Newark
JetBlue is gearing up for summer travel with the addition of new routes and more Mint service options. The airline announced 30 new domestic routes and said it will expand its successful Mint service to Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR).
More Mint
JetBlue, New York’s Hometown Airline, will expand its successful Mint service in the broader metro area to Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) with daily nonstop service to both Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) and San Francisco International Airport (SFO).
Favorite Mint features include lie-flat seating – including individual suites with sliding privacy doors, tapas style dining, fresh espresso from the first purpose-built cappuccino machine for a U.S. airline, amenity kits by Hayward and Hopper, and dessert from local artisanal ice cream makers based in Mint cities.
New Routes
JetBlue will add 30 new domestic routes to serve customers in markets where leisure and VFR (visiting friends and relatives) travel is showing some signs of strength. With business travel facing a less certain recovery timeline, the new routes offer JetBlue the opportunity to generate revenue, bring aircraft back into service that would otherwise sit idle, and add more flying opportunities for JetBlue crewmembers.
With the new routes as well as additional capacity added in the July and August schedules, JetBlue is expected to operate more than half of its typical capacity this summer.
