JETBLUE AIRWAYS has kicked off a surge in transatlantic expansion by opening a new non-stop connection between Boston and London/ Gatwick. The service, which arrives at the London hub’s North Terminal at 0635hrs and departs back to the United States at 1225hrs, builds on JetBlue’s existing long-haul links from New York/JFK to Gatwick and nearby Heathrow.
Commenting on the route launch, JetBlue CEO Robin Hayes said: “Our London service from New York has been an incredible success and we are thrilled to finally bring this highly anticipated service to our Boston customers, a route that has long suffered from high fares by legacy carriers. As Boston’s largest carrier, adding this nonstop service to Gatwick will only make us more relevant in our New England focus city and introduce JetBlue to a largely unserved market.”
