JetBlue Launches New Route

JetBlue, following the reporting of a loss for the third quarter, has completed further expansion of its route network.

St Kitts And Nevis Added To Network

JetBlue says its new service from New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) and St. Kitts and Nevis’s Robert Llewellyn Bradshaw International Airport (SKB) touched down several days ago.

Service to St. Kitts is slated to operate on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays. JetBlue will focus on offering its low fares and network being made available on a route with limited competition.

Operating as Flight 2967, the aircraft will depart JFK at 0829 and arrive at SKB at 1414. After some time on the ground, it’ll leave from SKB as Flight 2968 at 1530 before touching down at JFK at 1900.

An Airbus A320 will be utilised to operate the service. JetBlue says it’ll offer fast, free and unlimited broadband Fly-Fi, complimentary name-brand snacks and seatback entertainment.
