JetBlue plans a codeshare pact with Icelandair to offer more seamless connections between the two airlines’ gateways in Boston, New York JFK and Reykjavik.
The two carriers have applied to codeshare and flights will become available for sale pending approval.
"We continuously look to expand and enrich our partnerships with some of the greatest airlines in the world to offer more options to our customers. Icelandair is the perfect partner, with its customer-friendly approach, and an impressive and growing network of flights between the US and scenic Iceland. We welcome customers from Iceland and across Europe aboard our flights, so they too can try our award-winning JetBlue Experience," said JetBlue President Robin Hayes.
Under the agreement JetBlue’s ‘B6’ code will be placed on Icelandair transatlantic routes to Reykjavik’s Keflavik International Airport and eight other routes to Scandinavia and Europe.
Icelandaie customers will be able to connect at JetBlue’s Boston and New York /JFK hubs for 14 onward flights across its network including Baltimore, Chicago, Tampa, San Francisco and Los Angeles.
"As Icelandair enters 2015, we continue to strengthen our network, with more gateways, more frequency and more destinations. With today’s announcement, we’re pleased to bolster our partnership with JetBlue for the great benefit of our mutual passengers," said Icelandair CEO Birkir Holm Gudnason.
