JetBlue has announced plans to expand transatlantic flying with a new service to Paris starting next summer.
Paris will be JetBlue’s second transatlantic destination following the airline’s successful launch of service to London in August 2021, with five daily flights between the United States and the United Kingdom.
The nonstop service will be between New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) and Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG) in the summer of 2023.
The airline will later add nonstop service between Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) and Paris-CDG. Seats will go on sale in the coming months.
Robin Hayes, Chief Executive Officer of JetBlue, said: “JetBlue is offering something completely unique to what you get from the big global legacy airlines on these routes – where a single high-fare joint venture operates nearly three-quarters of the flying.
“The response to our London service is proof that combining great service with low fares works. We can’t wait to bring our reimagined Mint and core offerings to Continental Europe’s most visited city.”
Paris is the largest European destination not currently served by JetBlue from its two Northeast focus cities, New York and Boston.
JetBlue plans to offer flights to Paris from both cities as it continues to grow its relevance in the Northeast with new routes most frequently requested by customers.
Anne-Laure Tuncer, Director USA Atout France and Regional Coordinator for the Americas, said: “Atout France would like to welcome JetBlue into the family of carriers that have chosen to service France.
“With so much pent-up demand, JetBlue is just in time to have their American customers experience the vitality and diversity of France’s offerings, new culinary itineraries, exciting upcoming sporting events – such as the Rugby World Cup 2023 and the Paris Summer Olympic and Paralympic Games 2024 and everything else France is known for.”
