Bozeman Flights Bring JetBlue’s Award-Winning Service to Montana for the First Time
JetBlue announced this week the start of new service in Bozeman, Montana, with the arrival of the airline’s inaugural flight landing on schedule just before 2:30 p.m. local time. Roundtrip flights between Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport (BZN) and Long Beach Airport (LGB) will operate twice weekly on Thursdays and Sundays on a summer and winter seasonal schedule.
“JetBlue has a long and successful tradition of connecting our customers to the very best vacation destinations, and Bozeman – with its fantastic downtown and nearby outdoor attractions – adds a unique, new city to our route map,” said Andrea Lusso, director route planning. “With our growing list of one-of-a-kind destinations more customers can turn to JetBlue when looking to book their next getaway.”
Bozeman is JetBlue’s first destination in Montana and this new service expands the airline’s presence in the western U.S. JetBlue’s newest city offers a variety of attractions including bustling downtown Bozeman’s stores and restaurants, the world-class skiing of Big Sky Resort an hour drive away, and access to Yellowstone National Park – the north and the west entrances are each just 90 miles from Bozeman. Whether hiking or skiing the mountains or taking in the beauty of Big Sky Country, the land and waters surrounding Bozeman are a magnificent way to enjoy the area.
“JetBlue has taken the time to get to know our community and all that we have to offer our esteemed visitors, and we look forward to a long-term partnership,” said Daryl W. Schliem, President/CEO, Bozeman Area Chamber of Commerce. “This new partnership affords us the opportunity to expand our business market and allows our community to visit Southern California, and in return, we open our doors to welcome Southern California an opportunity to visit Big Sky Country.”
