Hello BAB members, partners and friends,
If we haven’t yet, then hopefully very soon we will be greeting you all as JetBlue customers on one of our flights between London and New York!
As a New York’s hometown airline and a leading carrier in Boston, Fort Lauderdale, Los Angeles, Orlando, and San Juan, carrying over 35 million customers per year across the US, Latin America and the Caribbean, we are proud to have successfully crossed the Atlantic during the most of challenging times brought by the pandemic, launching daily flights not to one but to two London airports.
Back in 2000 we were founded with the mission to Bring Humanity Back to Travel, but the last couple of years we focused on bringing travel back to the humanity.

A lot has changed for anyone travelling these days (vaccination certificates, PLF’s, PCR and lateral-flow tests), but some things didn’t change: customers still expect a great service when travelling, preferably at low fares and they want to be environmentally friendly when doing so.
At JetBlue we have delivered exactly that for our transatlantic customers. We don’t compromise quality to offer low fares, we give you both. You will be astonished to find that business class roundtrip in our Mint Suite can be yours from just about GBP2,700, while our core experience, which is our economy cabin, kicks-off at about GBP330.
Our strategy of market disruption extends to sustainability as well. You’ll definitely find our Sustainable Travel Partner’s program of interest. It helps Corporates fast track their companies’ sustainable travel targets with options to help purchase Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), receive complimentary carbon offsetting and personalized emissions reporting.
We are preparing to launch our Boston to London flights soon, so stay tuned for more from JetBlue.
Here's to Blue Skies Ahead!
