JetBlue is expanding its codeshare partnership with Aer Lingus, the airline said today in a statement. The new codeshare flights are now available for booking on jetblue.com.
This will offer customers more ways to book and connect their travel between the two airlines’ networks. As part of the new bilateral codeshare, JetBlue will place its “B6” code on four Aer Lingus routes between JetBlue’s Northeast focus cities and Ireland:
New York’s John F. Kennedy Airport (JFK) to Dublin Airport (DUB), Shannon Airport (SNN) and Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) to Dublin Airport (DUB) and Shannon Airport (SNN).
JetBlue intends to add its code to selected Aer Lingus routes beyond Ireland in the near future.
“Connecting our customers with more of the destinations they want to fly to ensure JetBlue grows its relevance in the Northeast, and by expanding our partnership with Aer Lingus we’re introducing new options for travelers flying between the U.S. and Ireland,” said Joanna Geraghty, President and Chief Operating Officer JetBlue.
“More than 15 years after Aer Lingus became our very first international airline partner, our relationship continues to strengthen in ways that bring more benefits customers on both sides of the Atlantic.”
Lynne Embleton, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, Aer Lingus said: “Our relationship with JetBlue is long-standing and valued. All at Aer Lingus are looking forward to extending a warm Irish welcome to more JetBlue customers.
“These customers can now travel seamlessly to Dublin and Shannon airports as we continue to connect friends and families, businesses and colleagues from the US and Europe.”
JetBlue and Aer Lingus customers can purchase a single ticket that includes flights operated by both carriers, and enjoy conveniences on their day of travel like one-stop check-in and baggage transfer.
Customers traveling to the U.S. from Ireland benefit from the convenience of pre-clearing customs prior to departing Dublin and Shannon, allowing them to be on their way faster after landing in New York or Boston.
Aer Lingus will operate 16 transatlantic routes from Dublin, Shannon and Manchester, the UK to North America and the Caribbean in 2022.
