JetBlue is adding more flights to Bermuda from key North Eastern hubs next year.
Two new year-round daily flights and a third summer seasonal roundtrip will begin from May 2017, while all Bermuda routes will use 150-seat Airbus A320 aircraft, replacing the current 100-seat Embraer 190 planes.
On May 18 2017, JetBlue will operate daily year-round flights from New York JFK to Bermuda’s L.F. Wade International Airport and a second daily roundtrip during the peak summer months.
Also starting the same day, JetBlue is expanding its existing seasonal summer flights from Boston Logan to daily year-round service.
"This is a big win for our loyal JetBlue customers on all sides of these routes whether in New York, Boston or Bermuda. With more flights, larger aircraft and a variety of flight times to accommodate customers’ needs, JetBlue is positioning itself as the top choice for travel to and from Bermuda," said JetBlue CEO Robin Hayes.
"The Bermuda Tourism Authority is proud to be a marketing partner with JetBlue, creating incremental business for our island and for the airline. We have grown vacation air arrivals out of New York by 44% this year – and we have also been successful at attracting a younger, more adventurous traveler to Bermuda," said Bermuda Tourism Authority CEO Bill Hanbury.
