JetBlue has teamed up with Caribbean carrier Seaborne Airlines in a codeshare pact.
It will offer JetBlue flyers more flight options on a single through ticket from San Juan’s Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport, where JetBlue is the largest carrier.
JetBlue will place its ‘B6’ flight code on eight Seaborne Airlines routes out of San Juan to Anguilla, Tortola in the British Virgin Islands, Dominica, Nevis, St. Kitts, St. Maarten and St. Thomas and St. Croix in the US Virgin Islands.
Other regional destinations will be added once government approvals are granted, which include Antigua, Martinique and the Dominican Republic.
"This latest codeshare agreement combines Seaborne Airlines’ experience serving exciting Caribbean destinations with JetBlue’s established footing as an award-winning carrier to the region," said Scott Laurence, senior vice president, airline planning at JetBlue.
The codeshare agreement allows for one-time check-in, baggage transfer and convenient connections from San Juan on a single ticket.
The partnership expands upon an interline agreement established between the two airlines in 2013.
"The entire Seaborne Airlines team is excited to begin our codeshare relationship with JetBlue," said Gary Foss, president and CEO of Seaborne Airlines.
"I’m confident that our customers, Caribbean residents, and tourism to our region will all benefit as a result of this agreement."
