Jet Blue coming to Austin

[melissinha]

Once JetBlue arrives, Central Texans will have seven nonstop routes to the Big Apple every day. Because JFK is a major terminal for many of the world's airlines, the new flights should make it easier to catch international flights.
Come on down to the bluest city in Texas!

JetBlue Airways is coming to Austin, with nonstop service to New York and Boston starting in January. JetBlue's Texas entrance is part of an ambitious expansion plan by the fastest-growing major U.S. airline.

Starting Jan. 19, JetBlue will have three daily nonstops to JFK International Airport in New York and one to Logan International in Boston.

It is the airline's most ambitious expansion in its six-year life. Like other discount carriers, JetBlue is seeking to fill voids left by larger network carriers, which have been slowing or cutting back domestic capacity and focusing on more lucrative international flights.
