JetBlue arrives in Italy: New Boston-Milan service takes off

JetBlue Airways on May 11, 2026 launched its new daily summer-seasonal service between Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) and Milano Malpensa Airport (MXP), marking the airlineโ€™s first-ever service to Italy. The new route expands JetBlueโ€™s transatlantic network from Boston and reinforces the airlineโ€™s position as New England’s leading leisure airline, while also strengthening convenient connections for customers traveling across JetBlueโ€™s broader network.

With the start of service to Milan, JetBlue now offers customers nine daily nonstop destinations from Boston to Europe during the summer season, complementing existing year-round service to Amsterdam, London-Heathrow and Paris, as well as seasonal flights to Barcelona, Dublin, Edinburgh, London-Gatwick and Madrid. The new route builds on JetBlueโ€™s continued investment in Boston, coming just weeks after the airline launched new seasonal service to Barcelona, Spain, and further strengthens Bostonโ€™s role as a key connecting hub.


JetBlue continues to build Boston into a transatlantic gateway, offering customers throughout New England more ways to reach Europe with competitive fares and a high-quality onboard experience. Following the launch of service from Boston to Madrid and Edinburgh last year, and Barcelona earlier this spring, Milan now becomes the newest addition to JetBlueโ€™s European map from Logan.

JetBlue lands in London Gatwick from Boston

JetBlue Airways has announced it has officially launched service from Bostonโ€™s Logan International Airport (BOS) to Londonโ€™s Gatwick Airport (LGW). JetBlueโ€™s daily nonstop service is part of the airlineโ€™s focus city strategy and its long-term transatlantic growth plans. London was the largest nonstop market not currently served by JetBlue from Boston and is among the most requested destinations from the airlineโ€™s large Boston customer base.

Last year, JetBlue launched its first-ever transatlantic service from New York-JFK to both Heathrow and Gatwick, Londonโ€™s largest and busiest airports. The carrier plans to grow its transatlantic presence this year with new service from Boston Logan to Londonโ€™s Heathrow Airport, launching September 20, 2022, and an additional Gatwickdeparture from New York starting October 29, 2022. Between JetBlueโ€™s New York and Boston focus cities, the airline will offer five daily flights between the U.S. and the U.K. by October.

Delta adds new Boston-Rome service, celebrates all Terminal A gate operations at Boston’s Logan Airport

Delta Air Lines made this announcement:

  • Bostonโ€™s No. 1 global carrier boosts trans-Atlantic seats by more than 30 percent in 2020, including new service to London-Gatwick and Manchester, and second daily Paris service
  • This month, the airline assumes operations at all gates at Logan’s Terminal A, growing Delta’s airport footprint ahead of launching service to additional domestic markets

Delta Air Lines is continuing to build on a memorable year in Boston with the announcement of new summer service between Boston and Rome, part of the airlineโ€™s 2020 plans for expanded flying from three of the airlineโ€™s hubs to 10 popular trans-Atlantic destinations.

The new flights were announced at Logan International Airport as Delta, which recently designated Boston as its newest hub, officially assumed operations at all gates in Loganโ€™s Terminal A, making the airline the terminalโ€™s sole operator for the first time since the facility opened in 2005.

Bostonโ€™s fastest-growing global carrier, now with more gates in Terminal A

Deltaโ€™s expanded presence in Logan Airportโ€™s Terminal A supports the airlineโ€™s network growth over the past several years and positions it for more flying yet to come. In 2020, Delta will launch four new trans-Atlantic flights from Boston, including new seasonal service to Rome, the carrierโ€™s second daily flight to Paris and new service to London-Gatwick and Manchester. The carrier will also extend seasonal service between Boston and Edinburgh and Lisbon, two popular destinations added in 2019.

Additionally, Delta has nearly doubled its daily departures out of Boston since 2015. Later this month, Delta will launch new service to Chicago O’Hare, Newark-Liberty and Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport beginning Sept. 29, 2019.

Terminal A is the only terminal at Logan to offer CLEAR and the only airport facility with multiple club locations for a single airline. One of those Delta Sky Clubs will expand significantly by early next year to include new showers, which will open later this fall, as well as additional seating and a reimagined food and beverage area. Meanwhile, the gate areas are being refreshed with a modern look and feel to include new carpet, new seating and finishes, and more power. And Massport is partnering with Delta to implement a range of new food and beverage concepts throughout the facility.

Altogether, Delta and its partners serve more than 50 destinations from Logan International, offering customers the most international seats with flights to up to 18 international destinations. In 2018, Delta launched flights connecting Boston with Lisbon and Edinburgh, KLM increased Amsterdam service, Virgin Atlantic added a daytime Heathrow flight, and Korean Air launched service to Seoul-Incheon.

Beginning this winter, all of Deltaโ€™s flights connecting London Heathrow with Boston and New York will be operated using the carrierโ€™s newly retrofitted Boeing 767-400 aircraft, featuring all four branded seat products including a more private Delta One experience.

And beginning in 2020, all of Deltaโ€™s trans-Atlantic flights over six and a half hours will feature the carrierโ€™s premium Delta One experience, which includes a dedicated in-cabin flight attendant; a 180-degree flat-bed seat; extra-wide inflight entertainment screens; and seasonally rotating, chef-designed Delta One menus with the option to pre-select first choice of entrรฉe, paired with wines hand-selected by Master Sommelier Andrea Robinson
