American and JetBlue announced their Northeast Alliance in July, which was followed by the airlines’ intention to introduce key elements of the alliance following its review by the Department of Transportation in January.
“Our alliance with American opens the door for JetBlue to successfully enter new markets, introducing more choice and our award-winning service and low fares to more customers,” said Scott Laurence, JetBlue’s chief revenue and planning officer. “The alliance is also essential to get our planes back in the air profitably and crewmembers back to work.”
