JetBlue’s plans to operate two daily flights from London to Boston remain unchanged. Gatwick services will begin on 4th August, and Heathrow services will begin on 20th September.

Flights between London and the United States are operated by the Airbus A321 Long Range (LR) aircraft, which features 24 redesigned Mint suites and 114 core (economy) seats.

JetBlue’s CEO, Robin Hayes, stated: “The US-UK air corridor is among the busiest in the world and to effectively compete JetBlue is adding more flights across the North Atlantic, growing from just one daily flight last summer to five by this fall.

“And with permanent slots at Heathrow – the highest in demand slots globally – we’re now positioned to provide long-term service at one of the busiest airports in the world.

“This is an incredible opportunity for a carrier like JetBlue as we introduce transatlantic travellers to our great fares and award-winning service.”
