JetBlue’s Transatlantic A321LR Fleet To Be Deliver

(www.cargofee.com) News Broadcast：

JetBlue Airways has confirmed it is due to take delivery in 2021 of all 13 of the Airbus A321LRs it will use for its first transatlantic scheduled services and expresses confidence that by the time it begins receiving the aircraft JetBlue will have obtained the ETOPS certification it will require to operate them on nonstop transatlantic flights.

The New York-based airline announced April 10 that it would launch transatlantic scheduled service for the first time in 2021 using 13 A321LRs it had newly specified from within its existing order with Airbus for 85 A321neos. The routes will link its “focus city” hubs at Boston Logan International Airport and New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport with one or more as-yet unspecified airports serving London.

Responding to financial analysts’ questions during JetBlue’s 2019 first-quarter earnings conference call on April 23, JetBlue CEO Robin Hayes said that in preparing for transatlantic service, “the item on the critical path before [the 13 A321LRs are delivered is achieving] the ability to fly ETOPS [routes]," by obtaining ETOPS certification.
