JetBlue Airways plans to start flights to Dublin and Edinburgh from the U.S. as a part of the carrier’s trans-Atlantic expansion.
Tickets for the newly offered destinations went on sale Wednesday.
Every day seasonal service to Dublin will begin March 13, 2024, from the airline’s John F. Kennedy International Airport hub in Recent York, in addition to from Boston Logan International Airport. Flights to Edinburgh from Recent York’s JFK will begin May 22, 2024. All three routes shall be flown until Sep. 30, 2024, JetBlue said.
“Our summer seasonal service to Dublin and Edinburgh will bring a recent level of service and inexpensive fares to those markets which were dominated by high-fare legacy carriers for a long time,” said CEO Robin Hayes in a news release.
JetBlue has long planned service to Europe with a few of its longer-range jets, a technique that goals to chip away at demand largely controlled by larger competitors reminiscent of American Airlines, Delta and United, together with their European partners.
JetBlue executives have said they wish to win over consumers, partly through its revamped “Mint” business-class cabins. Its trans-Atlantic service began with service to London from Recent York in 2021.
JetBlue also said Wednesday that the airline would offer service between Boston Logan International Airport and Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport starting April 3, 2024. The corporate may even add a second every day flight to Paris from Recent York’s JFK starting June 20, 2024.
The airline first began service to Paris this past summer. On the time, it was the carrier’s second European destination.
