JetBlue’s expansion to Long Island flights offers increased connectivity and choice for New Yorkers.
It will complement existing operations at New York JFK, LaGuardia Airport and Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR).
“Long Island is an integral part of the New York Metro area, and we are excited to bring service to customers in this community,” said Dave Jehn, JetBlue’s VP of network planning and airline partnerships.
JetBlue’s presence at Long Island MacArthur Airport is expected to boost the local economy through job creation and increased tourism.
