JetBlue Continues Its Transcontinental Expansion
Two weeks ago, JetBlue Airways (NASDAQ: JBLU) announced two dozen new routes that will launch later this year. In addition to numerous new routes to leisure destinations -- particularly in the Caribbean and Latin America -- the expansion included a notable focus on adding "long-and-thin" transcontinental routes.
Now, JetBlue is doubling down on its transcontinental growth plans. On Tuesday, the airline announced four additional new routes, including three transcontinental routes that will take flight in late 2020.
JetBlue plans to add four new routes from Hartford's Bradley International Airport by year-end. On Nov. 19, it will begin flying to Cancun, one of the few international leisure destinations that's fully open for tourism.
