Bonjour, Paris!

JetBlue is launching service to the French capital

- Enrique Perrella

JETBLUE HAS ANNOUNCED Paris as its second transatlantic destination. The airline plans to launch nonstop flights from its hub at New York-JFK to Paris-Charles de Gaulle this summer, followed by another flight from Boston to the French capital.

JetBlue's overseas adventure began in August 2021 when it inaugurated its first flight to London. Today, JetBlue operates five daily flights to the U.K. The airline's CEO, Robin Hayes, believes that with the addition of Paris to the network, his airline can offer something different than what a passenger can get "from the big global legacy airlines on these routes, where a single highfare joint venture operates nearly three-quarters of the flying."
