“We are delighted to bring the long-awaited JetBlue experience to Long Island,” said Daniel Shurz, head of revenue, network, and enterprise planning at JetBlue. “These flights are a testament to JetBlue’s loyal customer base on Long Island who have frequently travelled to New York’s other airports to fly JetBlue. Customers no longer have to choose between the convenience of their local airport and the comfort, connectivity and customer service they enjoy with JetBlue.”
“With JetBlue beginning flights from Islip to Orlando, West Palm Beach and Fort Lauderdale, Long Islanders have more convenient service to Florida and our local economy will benefit with new jobs and increased tourism,” said U.S. Senator Chuck Schumer. “I’ve long encouraged JetBlue to start and expand service at MacArthur because Long Islanders deserve increased travel options, and the success of the airport is key to a more vibrant Long Island economy. Under the stewardship of Islip Town Supervisor Angie Carpenter and Airport Commissioner Shelley LaRose-Arken, the airport has soared to greater heights, and I applaud JetBlue, New York’s Hometown Airline, for launching this new service for Long Islanders.”
“I applaud the introduction of JetBlue service from MacArthur Airport, which will bring more travel options and convenience to Long Islanders,” said Congressman Andrew Garbarino (NY-02). “Expanding these routes supports our community by increasing access to flights and driving economic growth.”
“JetBlue's announcement is fantastic news for Long Island families and businesses. With more convenient travel options, this development strengthens our local economy and provides even greater access to destinations across the country,” said Congressman Nick LaLota (NY-01). “I’m proud to see our region growing as a transportation hub, making it easier for residents to connect with the people and places that matter most.”
“This JetBlue inaugural flight to Orlando is what dreams are made of. Long Islanders are passionate about JetBlue and have been asking for the airline to serve Islip’s MacArthur Airport for years. Today, those wishes would come true,” said Town of Islip Supervisor Angie Carpenter. “We are thrilled to welcome JetBlue – New York’s Hometown Airline to ISP – Long Island’s Hometown Airport.”
Elevating the East Coast
JetBlue seeks to obliterate the competition in the northeast by expanding its offering from all New York airports. Flights from Long Island complement the airline’s existing operations at New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK), LaGuardia Airport (LGA), Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR), and Westchester County Airport (HPN). Currently, JetBlue employs nearly 8,800 people in New York with operations at eight airports across the state and a support center in Long Island City.
This winter, JetBlue will continue to enhance connectivity throughout New York State, with additional service announced in Syracuse, Albany and Buffalo, including the only nonstop service from Buffalo to West Palm Beach. Additional flying will also roll out throughout New England this winter, increasing seats in that region by 20% year-over-year.
With these additions, JetBlue will average more than 225 daily flights across its network to Florida by February, bringing the airline’s average peak daily departures from the Sunshine State up eight percent compared to the same time last year and bolstering the airline’s presence in some of the country’s leading leisure destinations.
