JetBlue is flying to London — in two years.
After several years of hinting it would start service across the Atlantic Ocean, the low-cost carrier finally announced its transatlantic plans. On Wednesday, JetBlue said it would add"multiple daily flights" to the British capital beginning in 2021. The flights will depart from JetBlue's two major US hubs, New York and Boston. The airline said it would offer"affordable fares" on the two routes.
It didn't say if it would offer different services for these long flights, but said it will redesign its first class cabins.To get to London, JetBlue needs larger planes. It's changing 13 of its current orders from the Airbus 321 into the Airbus 321LR, a long-range version of the single-aisle aircraft. The new planes will let the airline serve new cities that weren't"previously accessible," it said.
