US budget airline JetBlue has officially launched Amsterdam as its third transatlantic route.
The airline has started flying between New York/JFK to Amsterdam Schiphol Airport as of today; and will add a Boston/Logan International Airport-Amsterdam route on September 20.
“JetBlue’s transatlantic service has proven to lower fares and benefit customers in markets that have suffered for decades from high fares by legacy carriers,” said Robin Hayes, chief executive officer, JetBlue. “We look forward to introducing our award-winning Mint and core service to business and leisure customers traveling to and from Amsterdam.”
“It is a pleasure to welcome JetBlue to Amsterdam Airport Schiphol and their contribution to Schiphol’s network,” said Ruud Sondag, president and CEO of Royal Schiphol Group. “Most importantly, with JetBlue deploying their new Airbus A321neo LR aircraft, they contribute to noise reduction and sustainability efforts.”
JetBlue already flies from New York to London and Paris and announced its Amsterdam plans earlier this year.
