JetBlue has today inaugurated new transatlantic flights to Dublin from New York JFK and Boston Logan International Airport.
These new flights will operate through to September 30 this year, running on a seasonal basis.
Without further ado, let’s get into it…

Commenting on the launch of new flights to Dublin from New York & Boston was Joanna Geraghty, chief executive officer, JetBlue:
“JetBlue’s entrance into Dublin is set to introduce a new era of low fares and great service between Ireland and the Northeast”.
“We look forward to introducing our award-winning Mint and core service to business and leisure customers traveling to and from Dublin just in time for Saint Patrick’s Day and the summer holiday season.”
Gary McLean, Managing Director, Dublin Airport added to this saying:
“The arrival of JetBlue to Dublin Airport is very good news for both passengers and Ireland and these new direct routes between Dublin and New York and Boston are going to prove really popular.”
“Demand for transatlantic travel has never been higher, with stronger than ever business links continuing to grow between Ireland and the US.”
“These new services from JetBlue will mean greater choice and value for our passengers and the Dublin Airport looks forward to working with JetBlue tonight ensure they are a flying success”.
Expanding the Transatlantic Profile…
The new flights into Dublin from New York & Boston with JetBlue represents an expansion in their transatlantic profile.
Utilising their Airbus A321neoLR aircraft, they have spent the last few years slowly but steadily entering this market.
Many ideas for destinations have been on the horizon for the airline.
As well as the A321neoLR aircraft, JetBlue will also receive the XLR variant, which will enable access to new markets as well.
Back at the Paris Air Show in 2019, they converted 13 of their standard neo orders into the XLR.
With the XLR expected to receive commercial certification by the end of the year, all eyes will be on when JetBlue will receive theirs.
Overall…
In conclusion, the new flights to Dublin from New York & Boston with JetBlue represent strong expansion.
Looking ahead, all eyes will be on how the new service is received over the upcoming busy Summer season.
If the performance is strong, then there could be scope to expand this to year-round.
But for now, let’s see how the first few weeks goes for the airline from the Emerald Isle.
