JetBlue, Silver Airways beef up codeshare pact

Tuesday, 17 March 20153 min read

JetBlue has expanded a codeshare agreement with Florida based Silver Airways offering customers seamless access to more destinations in Florida and the Bahamas.

The deal allows JetBlue customers to book through tickets and baggage transfers via Silver Airways’ focus cities of Fort Lauderdale and Orlando, to destinations such as Key West, Tallahassee and Pensacola.   

“We’re able to do a much better job getting customers to places we can’t actually fly our planes,” said Scott Laurence, JetBlue’s senior vice president of airline planning.

“With this codeshare, we can help our customers get to destinations like Key West and Pensacola more easily, while offering customers in Silver Airways cities connections to incredible JetBlue destinations.”

The new codeshare routes are available to book on JetBlue.com for travel starting March 29 and routes from Florida to the Bahamas once regulatory approval Is given.

The expanded codeshare pact will result in ‘a bigger network, better schedules and cheaper prices,’ according to Silver CEO Sami Teittinen.

Additionally JetBlue frequent flier members will earn points on all designated Silver codeshare flights.
