a new level of convenience for loyal JetBlue customers from Long
Island
To celebrate launch, $59 and $69 one-way fares
available online only at JetBlue.com
JetBlue (NASDAQ: JBLU) announced it has officially launched
service from Long Island MacArthur Airport (ISP), further expanding
its footprint across New York. Starting today, JetBlue is flying
daily from Long Island to Orlando, and 4 times weekly to West Palm
Beach and Fort Lauderdale. Long Islanders can now enjoy the
signature JetBlue experience when flying to top vacation
destinations without the commute.
“We are delighted to bring the long-awaited JetBlue experience
to Long Island,” said Daniel Shurz, head of revenue, network, and
enterprise planning at JetBlue. “These flights are a testament to
JetBlue’s loyal customer base on Long Island who have frequently
traveled to New York’s other airports to fly JetBlue. Customers no
longer have to choose between the convenience of their local
airport and the comfort, connectivity and customer service they
enjoy with JetBlue.”
“With JetBlue beginning flights from Islip to Orlando, West Palm
Beach and Fort Lauderdale, Long Islanders have more convenient
service to Florida and our local economy will benefit with new jobs
and increased tourism,” said U.S. Senator Chuck Schumer. “I’ve long
encouraged JetBlue to start and expand service at MacArthur because
Long Islanders deserve increased travel options, and the success of
the airport is key to a more vibrant Long Island economy. Under the
stewardship of Islip Town Supervisor Angie Carpenter and Airport
Commissioner Shelley LaRose-Arken, the airport has soared to
greater heights, and I applaud JetBlue, New York’s Hometown
Airline, for launching this new service for Long Islanders.”
“I applaud the introduction of JetBlue service from MacArthur
Airport, which will bring more travel options and convenience to
Long Islanders,” said Congressman Andrew Garbarino (NY-02).
“Expanding these routes supports our community by increasing access
to flights and driving economic growth.”
“JetBlue's announcement is fantastic news for Long Island
families and businesses. With more convenient travel options, this
development strengthens our local economy and provides even greater
access to destinations across the country,” said Congressman Nick
LaLota (NY-01). “I’m proud to see our region growing as a
transportation hub, making it easier for residents to connect with
the people and places that matter most.”
“This JetBlue inaugural flight to Orlando is what dreams are
made of. Long Islanders are passionate about JetBlue and have been
asking for the airline to serve Islip’s MacArthur Airport for
years. Today, those wishes would come true,” said Town of Islip
Supervisor Angie Carpenter. “We are thrilled to welcome JetBlue –
New York’s Hometown Airline to ISP – Long Island’s Hometown
Airport.”
New York Islanders and JetBlue In September, JetBlue
announced a multi-year partnership, naming the airline the Official
Domestic Airline Partner of the New York Islanders and UBS Arena,
underscoring its commitment to Long Island and building its
presence in the region. Through the partnership, TrueBlue® and
TrueBlue Mosaic® members receive benefits, such as pre-sale access
and special offers for select UBS Arena events and New York
Islanders games. Mosaic members also receive access to a designated
priority lane at the main entrance of the UBS Arena. Inside the
arena, customers and fans will soon enjoy the TrueBlue Terrace by
JetBlue and the JetBlue Runway Level, featuring the JetBlue Mosaic
Lounge and the Mosaic Suites.
Elevating the East Coast With a focus on building the
best leisure network on the East Coast driven by the airline’s
JetForward strategy, New York’s Hometown Airline® continues to
invest in their home state and the Northeast. Flights from Long
Island complement the airline’s existing operations in the New York
Metropolitan region at New York’s John F. Kennedy International
Airport (JFK), LaGuardia Airport (LGA), Newark Liberty
International Airport (EWR), and Westchester County Airport (HPN).
Currently, JetBlue employs nearly 8,800 people in New York with
operations at eight airports across the state and a support center
in Long Island City.
This winter, JetBlue will continue to enhance connectivity
throughout New York State, with additional service announced in
Syracuse, Albany and Buffalo, including the only nonstop service
from Buffalo to West Palm Beach. Additional flying will also roll
out throughout New England this winter, increasing seats in that
region by 20% year-over-year.
With these additions, JetBlue will average more than 225 daily
flights across its network to Florida by February, bringing the
airline’s average peak daily departures from the Sunshine State up
eight percent compared to the same time last year and bolstering
the airline’s presence in some of the country’s leading leisure
destinations.

operate using its restyled A320 aircraft, offering the airline's
