JetBlue Updates on Codeshare Pact with Japan Airlines
JetBlue Airways, New York's Hometown Airline, and Japan Airlines (JAL) announced a codeshare agreement, expanding the current interline partnership between the carriers' two networks in Tokyo and New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport as well as Boston's Logan International Airport.
The Company reported that customers looking to make a reservation, which will feature JAL's code on JetBlue-operated flights, can now book for travel on or after April 22.
According to a release, the start of the new agreement on April 22 coincides with JAL's brand new service from Boston to Tokyo's Narita International Airport using the super-efficient Boeing 787 Dreamliner, a nonstop flight from New England to Asia.
"In addition to our New York and Los Angeles offerings, customers in New England can now conveniently connect in Boston, where we are the largest airline, for direct service to Asia just in time for summer," said Scott Laurence, JetBlue's vice president of network planning and partnerships. "Japan Airline's partnership with JetBlue will introduce a new stream of travelers to our airline's brand, our people, and our service."
Via Boston, customers can connect to Tokyo from thirteen U.S. destinations including Buffalo, N.Y.; Baltimore, MD; Fort Lauderdale, Fort Myers, Jacksonville, Orlando, Tampa and West Palm Beach, Fla.; Pittsburgh; Raleigh/Durham, N.C.; Richmond, Va.; and Washington, D.C. (National and Dulles).
At New York, JetBlue offers connections between JAL-operated flights and cities including Buffalo, N.Y.; Burlington, Vt.; Charlotte, N.C.; Fort Lauderdale, Fort Myers, Jacksonville, Orlando, Sarasota, Tampa and West Palm Beach, Fla.; Houston, Texas; New Orleans, La.; Portland, Maine; Rochester and Syracuse, N.Y.; and Washington, D.C. (Dulles).
JetBlue is New York's Hometown Airline with other focus cities in Boston, Fort Lauderdale, Los Angeles, and Orlando.
