JetBlue Airways announced today that it’s beginning to fly to/from Manchester-Boston Regional Airport (MHT). The airline will add flights to three Florida destinations and bulk up service from Boston Logan International Airport (BOS), Rhode Island T. F. Green International Airport (PVD), as well as several New York airports.
Manchester-Boston Regional Airport (MHT)
The New Hampshire airport is around one hour from Boston and will see JetBlue enter the market there this coming January. Currently, American Airlines, Avelo Airlines, Breeze Airways, and United Airlines fly to/from this airport. JetBlue will add the following routes:
- Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL) (4x weekly; winter seasonal; starts on January 24th)
- Orlando International Airport (MCO) (daily; starts on January 23rd)
- Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW) (3x weekly; winter seasonal; starts on January 23rd)
Boston Logan International Airport (BOS)
Boston is a focus city for JetBlue. It has flown to/from the airport for more than 20 years. While it has ceded some marketshare to Delta Air Lines over the past few years (Delta operates Boston as a hub while it’s a focus city for JetBlue). The airline will begin daily service to Presque Isle International Airport (PQI) on September 5th. It’s also adding a second daily flight to Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX) and for the first time this route will offer Mint service including lie-flat seats and JetBlue’s great catering.
Rhode Island T. F. Green International Airport (PVD)
Providence will see a big push from JetBlue this fall. Seats will nearly triple from 2023 and two new flights to Florida (plus San Juan) are being added to the schedule. These include:
- San Juan’s Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport (SJU) daily; starts on October 28th)
- Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW) (daily; winter seasonal; starts on October 27th)
- Tampa International Airport (TPA) (daily; winter seasonal; starts on October 27th)
Expansion in New York
JetBlue bills itself as New York’s Hometown Airline®. It will be making investments in the Empire State with additional service in Albany International Airport (ALB), Buffalo Niagara International Airport (BUF), and Syracuse Hancock International Airport (SYR). Beginning in October, JetBlue will fly nonstop between Buffalo Niagara International Airport (BUF) and Palm Beach International Airport (PBI) on a seasonal basis. Albany International Airport (ALB) and Buffalo Niagara International Airport (BUF) will also each have a second daily flight added this winter to Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL) and Orlando International Airport (MCO). Syracuse Hancock International Airport (SYR) will get a second daily flight to Orlando International Airport (MCO).
Marty St. George, President of JetBlue, said:
We are incredibly proud of our strong roots in Boston and New England, a place that has always embraced our vision for low fares and superior travel experiences. Our commitment to Boston and our loyal customers across New England is unwavering as we continue to innovate and enhance our product. With each new development, each new route, we aim to deliver even greater comfort and convenience, ensuring that our customers’ choice is easy, and they always receive the best that JetBlue has to offer.”
Anthony’s Take: Manchester-Boston Regional Airport (MHT) is getting a lot of love with new routes announced by Avelo today as well (more here). Florida is the place to be this winter and airlines are adding a ton of capacity. We’ll have to wait to see if demand can fill all of these seats.
