JetBlue Airways services to London: strong signals about when, not if

Executives at JetBlue Airways have recently given their strongest signal yet that the introduction of long haul flights to Europe is not a question of if, but when. The airline has been evaluating trans Atlantic service for more than year after altering its aircraft order book to option the Airbus A321neo LR.

JetBlue has not made an official declaration about its plans for long haul service; but its management has stated that London is the largest market the airline does not serve from its Boston focus city, where it aims to grow to 200 daily flights.

While that is not an official announcement, the assessment does offer insights into JetBlue's evaluations of trans Atlantic service, and fuels speculation that an announcement for new flights to Europe could occur sooner rather than later.
