The codeshare will further strengthen the relationship between Emirates and JetBlue.
The two airlines have been interline partners since 2010, enabling customers to enjoy the convenience of a single combined ticket for Emirates and JetBlue-operated flights, plus other benefits including one-stop check-in and baggage transfer.
“Emirates’ network within the US will soon extend to almost 20 cities through our partner JetBlue, making flying to the US from the Gulf, Middle East, Africa, the Indian subcontinent and the Far East smoother and more convenient than ever before,” said Thierry Antinori, executive vice president of Passenger Sales Worldwide.
“JetBlue shares our passion for innovation and best-in-class services, and we look forward to continuing to grow the relationship as we seek new ways to build our presence within the US,” said Antinori.
“We are pleased to expand upon our successful relationship with Emirates through this new codeshare at JFK, where JetBlue is the number one airline,” said Scott Laurence, JetBlue’s vice president of network planning and partnerships.
Emirates customers can connect to JetBlue services at New York’s JFK Airport.
As a one-way codeshare, an Emirates’ flight number will be placed on JetBlue services to the following cities: Boston (BOS), Burlington (BTV), Buffalo (BUF), Charlotte (CLT), Chicago (ORD), Fort Lauderdale (FLL), Jacksonville (JAX), Orlando (MCO), Portland, Maine (PWM), Raleigh/Durham (RDU), Tampa (TPA) and Washington Dulles (IAD).
At JFK Airport, Emirates operates from Terminal 4 while JetBlue operates from the adjacent, 26-gate Terminal 5, allowing for easy connections between flights. In addition, the Quick Connect service available at JFK makes transfers even more hassle-free.
