NEW YORK — JetBlue on Tuesday (Apr 5) announced flights between Boston and London starting this summer. A new nonstop service between Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) and London Gatwick Airport (LGW) takes off from the U.S. on July 19, 2022, followed by nonstop service between Boston and London Heathrow Airport (LHR) on August 22, 2022.
London is the largest nonstop market not currently served by JetBlue in Boston and is among the most requested destinations from the airline’s large Boston customer base. With service to Heathrow and Gatwick, JetBlue becomes the only airline to fly between New England and London’s two largest and busiest airports.
“Our strategy of flying to both Heathrow and Gatwick Airports has been a success for us in New York, and we’ve secured slots to be able to do the same in Boston, becoming the only airline in New England offering flights to London’s two main airports,” said Robin Hayes, chief executive officer, JetBlue. “Our London service has been an incredible success so far and we’ve been able to go in with our unbeatable JetBlue service and experience and bring down fares on a traditionally overpriced route – the JetBlue Effect in action. We’re ready to do the same at Logan as we advance our growth strategies in both Boston and London.”
Flights on both Gatwick and Heathrow routes will operate daily on JetBlue’s new Airbus A321 Long Range (LR) aircraft with 24 redesigned Mint suites, 114 core seats and the sleek and spacious Airspace cabin interior. The A321LR platform – offering the range of a wide-body but with the economics of a single-aisle aircraft – allows JetBlue to effectively compete with the airline’s award-winning service and attractive fares on flights between Boston and London.
“JetBlue has been a great partner to Logan for many years and we are excited that they are launching two London – Boston services this summer,” said Massport’s Director of Aviation Ed Freni. “These new flights give our passengers even more choice when they cross the Atlantic.”
JetBlue’s transatlantic service in Boston builds on the success of the airline’s flights between New York and London, which first launched in August 2021 with Heathrow service, followed by Gatwick service in September 2021. JetBlue’s entrance into the transatlantic market introduced a long overdue, new era of customer-focused, low-fare travel for leisure and business travelers. With the expansion of transatlantic service in Boston, JetBlue is set to bring even more affordable fares and incredible service to customers with up to four daily flights between the U.S. and the U.K.
“We are thrilled to hear of JetBlue’s further expansion into London’s Heathrow and Gatwick airports with its service from Boston,” said Gavin Landry, executive vice president, The Americas, VisitBritain. “With international travel on the rise and the removal of all travel restrictions to Britain, we know travellers across the US are eager to return to Britain and experience all that is waiting for them. Now, with JetBlue’s new routes and VisitBritain’s messages of welcome and reassurance, it is time to share the stories of Another Side of Britain, made up of our vibrant and diverse cities, renowned heritage, and contemporary culture, and so much more.”
Additionally, JetBlue’s transatlantic service in Boston opens up a variety of all-new connecting markets in the U.S. not previously available through New York. Business and leisure travellers flying to or from cities including Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, Baltimore and Pittsburgh can now enjoy JetBlue’s industry-leading transatlantic experience and attractive fares with convenient connections through Boston.
