JetBlue will be expanding its transatlantic services into Continental Europe with a new service to Paris starting next summer. Paris will be JetBlue’s second transatlantic destination following the airline’s successful launch of service to London in August 2021. JetBlue plans to offer flights to Paris from New York and Boston as it continues to grow its relevance in the Northeast with new routes. JetBlue currently operates five daily flights between US and UK.
Robin Hayes, chief executive officer of JetBlue, said: “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. The response to our London service is proof that combining great service with low fares works. We cannot 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
Anne-Laure Tuncer, Director of USA Atout France and regional coordinator for the Americas said: “Atout France would like to welcome JetBlue into the family of carriers that have chosen to service France. 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, new culinary itineraries, and exciting upcoming sporting events such as the Rugby World Cup 2023 and the Paris Summer Olympic and Paralympic Games 2024 and everything else France is known for.”
The airline anticipates that the new service at Paris-CDG will provide the airline with 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 US.
