JetBlue Will Fly to Amsterdam from New York and Boston
JetBlue revealed today that it plans to continue expanding its transatlantic offerings with a third destination in Europe.
Following the airline’s successful launch of service to London’s Heathrow and Gatwick airports in 2021 and service to Paris coming this June, JetBlue will also fly to Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (AMS) starting late this summer.
The airline will first fly to Amsterdam from New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) and will then launch service between Boston and Amsterdam later.
“This route is long overdue for some competition,” said Robin Hayes, chief executive officer, JetBlue. “For too long the U.S. legacy carriers, backed by their joint ventures with other global airlines that enjoy immunity from antitrust laws, have locked customers in with very expensive fares and mediocre service. Just like we’re doing in London and Paris, we will bring fares down and improve the experience for customers flying between the U.S. and Amsterdam.”
Last week, a Dutch court ruled that the Dutch government failed to follow the law when it sought to reduce the cap on Amsterdam Airport Schiphol’s annual air traffic movements, giving JetBlue confidence there is room for it to enter the market.
Known for its historic buildings, world-famous museums and iconic canals, Amsterdam is one of the most visited cities in the world. JetBlue’s new service to Amsterdam will provide the airline with a high visibility presence at another top airport in Europe. Plus it will establish a new customer base of travelers looking to connect between Europe and the United States.
Flights will operate daily on JetBlue’s Airbus A321 Long Range (LR) aircraft with 24 redesigned Mint Suite® seats, 114 core seats and the sleek and spacious Airspace cabin interior.
