connectivity for Long Island residents starting in October
To celebrate launch, $49 one-way fares
available online only on JetBlue.com
JetBlue (Nasdaq: JBLU) today reinforced its role as New York’s
Hometown Airline® by announcing it will launch service for the
first time from Long Island MacArthur Airport (ISP) with tickets on
sale today. Starting this October, JetBlue will begin offering
flights to Orlando International Airport (MCO), Fort
Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL) and Palm Beach
International Airport (PBI). This new service aims to help better
serve the many loyal JetBlue customers living on Long Island,
providing them with more convenient travel options to popular
destinations in Florida.
Strengthening New York's Hometown Airline
As New York’s Hometown Airline for more than 24 years and the
only major U.S. airline based in New York City, JetBlue’s expansion
onto Long Island underscores its commitment to enhancing
connectivity for New Yorkers. This new service will bolster
JetBlue's presence in the New York Metro area, complementing its
existing operations at John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK),
LaGuardia Airport (LGA), and Newark Liberty International Airport
(EWR).
"Long Island is an integral part of the New York Metro area, and
we are excited to bring our award-winning service to customers in
this community," said Dave Jehn, JetBlue’s vice president of
network planning and airline partnerships. "The addition of Long
Island MacArthur Airport to our network will offer more options and
greater convenience for customers, and we are proud to provide new
opportunities for more Long Islanders to experience our unique
combination of low fares and great service."
“It’s no secret that Long Island loves JetBlue, for years
residents have asked, and we’ve been listening. As the Town
Supervisor, I can say that we are thrilled to embark on this new
partnership. We are committed to ensuring the success of our
business partners at Long Island MacArthur Airport. Our airport is
one of our region’s greatest economic assets, and JetBlue’s success
at ISP will certainly enrich our community and beyond. Long Island
cannot wait to open its doors to the visitors that will come to New
York by way of ISP - Long Island’s hometown airport,” said Islip
Town Supervisor Angie Carpenter.
“We have all worked hard to ensure Long Island travelers have
more choices for nonstop destinations. Our hometown airport is
convenient, has efficient security lines, and provides an overall
stress-free travel experience. Long Islanders have waited for New
York’s hometown airline, JetBlue, for 24 years, and this is a great
day for our community and MacArthur Airport!” said Shelley
LaRose-Arken, Long Island MacArthur Airport commissioner.
“More Long Islanders will be flying to and from MacArthur
Airport now that JetBlue will soon begin flights from Islip to
Orlando, Palm Beach, and Fort Lauderdale. I have long encouraged
JetBlue to start service at LI MacArthur because Long Islanders
need increased travel options, and the success of the airport is
key to a more vibrant Long Island economy,” said Senator Charles
Schumer of New York.
“Under the stewardship of Islip Town Supervisor Angie Carpenter
and Airport Commissioner Shelley LaRose-Arken the airport has
soared to greater heights, and I will continue working with them to
secure federal funding to make improvements and attract even more
service. I applaud JetBlue for their decision, and I will continue
working with all stakeholders to build MacArthur Airport into a
roaring economic engine and world-class transportation hub,”
Schumer added.
