JetBlue Expands in Worcester

JetBlue on Dec. 7, announced it is further expanding its presence in New England by launching daily nonstop service between Worcester Regional Airport (ORH) and New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) beginning May 3.

“This latest growth in Worcester is yet another example of JetBlue’s ongoing commitment to our Massachusettscustomers and our leadership position in the region,” said Robin Hayes, president and chief executive officer, JetBlue. “It also brings our low fares and award-winning service to another new route in the northeast and connects more travelers to the places they want to fly.”

JetBlue is the only commercial airline to serve Worcester. The airline’s New York service builds on existing nonstop flights between Worcester and Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL) and Orlando International Airport (MCO), which launched in November 2013.

“Worcester Regional Airport is an important asset to the Commonwealth that provides important connections to Central Massachusetts and JetBlue has become a terrific partner in bringing those connections to our customers,” said Massport CEO Thomas P. Glynn. “We are excited for JetBlue’s service to JFK to begin next year and look forward to the new opportunities – for both businesses and visitors – it will bring to the heart of the Commonwealth.”
