JetBlue Airways (New York) yesterday (January 5) launched new service from San Francisco International Airport (SFO) to Las Vegas’ McCarran International Airport (LAS). The airline will offer twice daily nonstop flights on this route.
JetBlue will serve the route with its 150-seat Airbus A320 aircraft.
In other news, JetBlue has outlined its growth plans to its employees:
Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood (FLL), where we are also the largest carrier, will receive both southbound Caribbean/Latin additions and new northbound domestic service.
Boston (BOS), where we are the largest carrier, will see a mix of new business markets and leisure destinations.
New York (JFK and LGA), which is largely slot constrained, will gain a handful of additional flights to new leisure-oriented BlueCities as well as the full rollout of Mint and the continued deployment of the high density A321s. In fact, in 2015 we plan to get more out of our NYC slot portfolio by increasing metro-area ASMs (available seat miles) by 8% while only increasing departures by 3%.
Orlando (MCO) will continue to grow organically due to its very strong profitability and will likely see a couple new destinations.
San Juan (SJU) will see another new destination, likely on the U.S. mainland.
Los Angeles (LAX and LGB) will see the full rollout of Mint (as will SFO) while in LGB we continue to work toward our goal of a customs facility at the airport to allow international flights.
