B6 will only have 1 gate in T6 Do you have a source? I know that they were originally sharing the space with other carriers, but this is news to me. I am not sure if it is just one gate but I know there was some information in the past that Lufthansa will be the primary airline. I forget where I sa...
Jump to postIt does not look like JetBlue will be adding new cities or routes anytime soon. However a New Terminal 6 is being built at JFK to add more gates for JetBlue so we will see what the future has in store for JetBlue there. I wouldn’t hold your breath on T6 being some massive boon for B6. Lufthansa and...

I wonder if we'll see B6 cut PVD & ORH entirely at some point; especially given their close proximity to BOS. Might be better for B6 to try to convince those two markets to make the drive over instead of having outstations there and cannibalizing the BOS operation (to a degree). ORH has been ru...

Jump to postB6 isn’t looking for any hub farther west. I love this site but it’s ridiculous to think they’re looking to expand. They don’t need to get bigger. And the current C suit knows this.

Jump to postOkay this B6 becoming NK and not the other way around, I'm incredibly curious. I think this would have made sense back when Baldanza joined the BOD in 2018.

JetBlue is premium in some ways and low cost in some ways, that’s where I’m saying they need to pick one or the other.

Why would LH work with B6? They already serve BOS/JFK directly themselves.

What's the possibility B6 goes back to AA and joins the NEA appeal? Or re-establishes a version of NEA Lite, or even joins Oneworld? JetBlue cannot appeal the district court's judgment in the NEA matter or join American's appeal. There's no such thing as joining someone else's appeal; you have to f...

Jump to postThe DOJ can permit a sale but it won't want to see further market concentration at JFK or BOS. A sale of B6 slots at JFK? Sure, but not a bunch to Delta. And so on.
