JetBlue Expands at LaGuardia Terminal B with More Flights and Destinations
JetBlue has announced that effective this Sunday, October 31 it will expand its footprint at New York’s LaGuardia Airport (LGA) across two terminals, operate more daily departures than ever before with up to 35 daily flights and serve more than triple the number of nonstop destinations flown in 2019.
JetBlue’s growth in northern Queens is made possible through its Northeast Alliance (NEA) with American Airlines.
“LaGuardia is one of the most asked for airports by customers, but it’s also one of the most congested, and JetBlue has long lacked the slots to grow our operation,” said Dave Fintzen, vice president, Northeast Alliance, JetBlue. “But thanks to our alliance, we can tap into American’s slot portfolio, substantially expand JetBlue-operated flying at LaGuardia with increased frequencies and new destinations and bring our much-loved experience and low fares to more JetBlue and American customers.”
Split Terminal Operations
Starting this Sunday, JetBlue will expand operations to two separate terminals at LaGuardia to make way for more flying and new destinations. The airline will continue to operate in the historic Marine Air Terminal (Terminal A) but will also be expanding into LaGuardia’s new Terminal B.
All Boston flights will operate at the Marine Air Terminal, while flights to and from all other destinations will operate at Terminal B. JetBlue will operate up to 12 daily departures to Boston at the Marine Air Terminal and up to 23 additional daily departures to other destinations from Terminal B. Terminal B is also home to American Airlines and will allow for convenient connections between the airlines within the same terminal.
JetBlue’s split operation at LaGuardia will continue until the airline fully relocates to Terminal B in the future. The LaGuardia Terminal B redevelopment is now 85% complete. It includes a new 1.3 million square foot terminal with 35 gates, an array of New York City-inspired shops and dining options, permanent pieces of art by leading artists and a one-of-a-kind water feature.
More Departures to More Destinations
In addition to expanding its footprint at LaGuardia, JetBlue will also expand its list of nonstop destinations and number of daily flights. Starting Sunday, October 31, the airline will introduce three all-new routes with daily service between LaGuardia and:
- Jacksonville, Fla. (JAX), up to twice daily.
- Sarasota, Fla. (SRQ), once daily.
- Savannah, Ga. (SAV), once daily.
With the addition of new destinations and increased flying on select routes, JetBlue will now operate up to 35 daily departures at LaGuardia, more than ever before. Still, JetBlue intends to grow further in the months ahead. In 2022, the airline will operate more than 50 daily departures and add service to even more new destinations, again enabled by the NEA. In the first half of the year, JetBlue will introduce nonstop service between LaGuardia and:
- New Orleans, La. (MSY), on sale and launching March 27.
- Nashville, Tenn. (BNA), on sale and launching March 27.
- Portland, Maine (PWM), on sale soon and launching summer 2022.
By summer 2022, JetBlue will serve 16 nonstop destinations from LaGuardia, more than even before.
