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 airlineโs first-ever service to Italy. The new route expands JetBlueโs transatlantic network from Boston and reinforces the airlineโs position as New England’s leading leisure airline, while also strengthening convenient connections for customers traveling across JetBlueโs 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 JetBlueโs continued investment in Boston, coming just weeks after the airline launched new seasonal service to Barcelona, Spain, and further strengthens Bostonโs 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 JetBlueโs European map from Logan.

Amazon has unveiled the Amazon Leo Aviation Antenna, a lowโprofile, electronically steered inflightโconnectivity system designed to deliver up to 1 Gbps download and 400 Mbps upload to every seat on an aircraft. The antenna is built specifically for aviation, with no moving parts, a slim 2.6โinch profile to reduce drag, and a design that allows airlines to install it in one day. It integrates its own modem, uses aviationโgrade connectors, and is engineered to withstand harsh weather and temperature extremes.
A single antenna is capable of supporting an entire aircraftโwidebodies or regional jetsโproviding enough bandwidth for streaming, gaming, video calls, and realโtime collaboration. Crew can also use the connection for operational tasks that benefit from nearโinstant data. The system connects to Amazonโs lowโEarthโorbit satellite network, handing off seamlessly between satellites as the aircraft moves, and uses laser interโsatellite links to maintain performance over oceans, polar routes, and remote regions.
Amazon Leo is building more than 300 global ground gateways to reduce latency and improve resilience, routing traffic through AWS edge locations for fast access to the internet or cloud services. The company says airlines have responded strongly to the technology, with Delta Air Lines and JetBlue already signing agreements to adopt the system. Amazon plans to share additional details as it moves toward commercial rollout.
JetBlue Airways, the largest airline serving the Dominican Republic, on February 4, 2026 proudly announces that a vibrant design by artist Willy Gรณmez has been selected for its first-ever special aircraft livery honoring the Dominican Republic. Chosen by public vote, the design celebrates the countryโs rich cultural identity while underscoring JetBlueโs long-standing commitment to the Dominican community.
The livery is part of RD Orgullo que Eleva (DR Pride That Lifts), a campaign developed in collaboration with Dominican artists to elevate local talent and showcase the cultural pride, creativity, and spirit of the Dominican Republic.
Launched in January, the RD Orgullo que Eleva campaign invited customers and fans to vote for their favorite design among three original concepts created by Dominican artists including Gรณmez, Los Plebeyos, and Lena Tolkens. Each design offered a distinct interpretation of Dominican culture, drawing inspiration from folklore, music, everyday life, nature, family, and national symbolism through each artistโs unique creative lens. JetBlue is grateful to the three artists for their creativity and passion, which brought powerful and authentic perspectives to this celebration.
Following an enthusiastic public response, the selected design will take flight later this spring on a JetBlue Airbus A320. More than a visual transformation, the livery serves as a flying tribute to the Dominican Republic and the millions of customers who share a deep connection to the country. It also reflects JetBlueโs continued investment and commitment to bringing together family and friends, supporting tourism and the local economy, and promoting the Dominican Republic as a dynamic, must-visit destination.
With more than 20 years of experience as an art director, illustrator, and muralist, Gรณmez draws on Neo-traditional and Art Nouveau influences to celebrate Dominican culture. His design captures the countryโs rhythm and warmth through expressive linework, tropical motifs, and bold color contrasts inspired by music, dance, and coastal life. The aircraft will serve as a powerful symbol of Dominican pride and presence carrying that spirit across JetBlueโs network.

Drawing inspiration from national folklore, color, music, and cultural pride, the artists translated Dominican heritage into custom aircraft designs.

Dominican pride by Dominican artists For its first Dominican Republic-inspired livery, JetBlue partnered with talented and renowned Dominican artists, reinforcing its commitment to supporting local talent and celebrating the countryโs culture, traditions, and spirit. Each artist was compensated for their creative work, and while all three designs capture Dominican identity, one will be selected to take to the skies.
Willy Gรณmez:ย An art director, illustrator, and muralist with more than two decades of experience, Gรณmezโs work blends Neo-traditional and Art Nouveau influences while celebrating Latin culture. His bold, colorful design highlights music, nature, and coastal life.
Los Plebeyos:ย This Dominican design collective is known for its bold graphics and contemporary social lens. Their design draws from everyday Dominican life and folklore, incorporating playful illustrations of food, music, and family.
Lena Tokens:ย An internationally recognized illustrator, Tokens is known for blending surrealism, nature, and vibrant color. Her design incorporates the colors of the Dominican flag and features two people, representing the countryโs traditions, creativity, and rhythm.
More than 20 years of commitment to the Dominican Republic JetBlue has served the Dominican Republic for nearly 22 years, beginning with Santiago as its first international destination. Today, the airline offers more seats between the U.S. and the Dominican Republic than any other carrier, operating from Santiago, Santo Domingo, Puerto Plata, and Punta Cana. This spring, JetBlue expects to average more than 30 daily departures, making travel easier for leisure, business, and family connections.
Beyond air service, JetBlue supports communities across the country through volunteerism, charitable partnerships, and JetBlue Foundation grants, including a five-year partnership with the Mariposa DR Foundation to expand educational opportunities for girls. As part of its long-standing partnership with the DREAM Project, JetBlue most recently supported book fairs held in El Mamรณn and La Uniรณn last year, aimed at promoting early childhood literacy.
JetBlue continues to expand its network in the Dominican Republic, recently relaunching service between Fort Lauderdale and Santiago and introducing new service between Tampa and Punta Cana, strengthening connections with Florida.
Through continued growth, community investment, and cultural celebration, JetBlue remains committed to the Dominican Republic and its long-term success.
JetBlue Airways on December 11 announced that Vero Beach Regional Airport (VRB) has officially joined its expanding Florida network, with the start of service today from both New Yorkโs John F.

JetBlue (Nasdaq: JBLU) on December 11 announced thatย BlueHouse, the airlineโs first-ever airport lounge, will officially open its doors at New Yorkโs John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) Terminal 5 (T5) at 5 a.m. ET on December 18, 2025.
As a major element of JetBlueโs broader JetForward strategy, which includes delivering more premium, customer-centric experiences, BlueHouse sets a new benchmark for approachable hospitality in the heart of T5. Inviting, stylish, and uniquely JetBlue, the space is designed to feel like an extension of home, inspired by the energy and character of New York City. It introduces a more relaxed, seamless experience to play, work and unwind, with thoughtful design and technology that reduce long lines and make travel feel easier and less stuffy from the moment customers walk in.
โBlueHouse helps make our flagship terminal feel more like home,โ said Marty St. George, president, JetBlue. โItโs warm, comfortable, and elevated in a way thatโs distinctly JetBlue, with the hospitality and thoughtful amenities our customers have been asking for. As our first lounge, it represents an exciting milestone in our JetForward journey as we focus on bringing affordable, premium experiences from the aircraft to the airport.โ
Key Highlights of BlueHouse at JFK Terminal 5:
9,000 square feet and two floors bring an NYC apartmentโstyle aesthetic to JFK Terminal 5 with Art Deco design, curated local art and playful nods to JetBlueโs history.
Local flavor infused through fresh bites curated by Union Square Events and beverages from NYC partners Joe Coffee, The Greats of Craft and Please Donโt Tell.
High-speed Wi-Fi, ample power outlets, a game room, open seating and quiet areas give space to the different needs of travelers looking to socialize, work and relax before flying.

Home Away from Home, In Our Hometown Spanning 9,000 square feet across two floors, BlueHouse blends the charm of New Yorkโs iconic Art Deco architecture with the warmth of a classic city apartment. Decorative molding, brass accents and a lobby-style entry set the scene for a residential-inspired space that feels warm, personal and unmistakably JetBlue.
โWe wanted customers to feel like theyโre stepping into a warm and stylish New York City apartment filled with character, where layers of JetBlue history and New York iconography can be discovered with every visit,โ said Stephanie Evans Greene, senior vice president, marketing and brand, JetBlue. โJust as New Yorkers bring their own personality into a new space, we infused the space with JetBlueโs signature style to feel homey and comfortable when staying in our House.โ
The lounge weaves together JetBlueโs history as New Yorkโs Hometown Airlineยฎ with the Empire Stateโs spirit through art locally curated by Statement Of, and a mural designed by Artists for Humanity that features constellations of JetBlue destinations in the style of Grand Central Terminalโs iconic ceiling.
Itโs On the House Prepared daily and curated by Union Square Events, BlueHouse offers guests fresh grab-and-go bites inspired by New Yorkโs food scene like bacon, egg and cheese sandwiches with New York cheddar in the morning, and pastrami on rye or chicken Caesar wraps later in the day.

โBlueHouse is one of the most significant enhancements weโve ever made to our loyalty program,โ said Ed Pouthier, vice president of loyalty and personalization, JetBlue. โOur Mosaic members and Premier Cardmembers already enjoy elevated benefits every time they fly, but BlueHouse introduces a new level of recognition for those who choose to fly us again and again.โ

JetBlue Airways has announced the expansion of its industry-leading Gateway programs with the launch of Gateway University – Tech Ops, a new pathway designed to create a direct route for aviation maintenance students to join JetBlue as Aircraft Maintenance Technicians (AMTs). The initiative expands career opportunities in one of the airline industryโs most vital and in-demand fields.
For the first time, JetBlue is offering external candidates a defined path to becoming a JetBlue maintenance technician. While existing Technical Operations Gateways programs have been available for current JetBlue crewmembers, Gateway University – Tech Ops opens the door for aviation students outside of JetBlue to pursue a structured, hands-on route to joining the airlineโs maintenance operations.
The program launches with two partners: Vaughn College of Aeronautics and Technology in Queens, New York, and Cape Cod Community College (CCCC) in Plymouth, Massachusetts. Both institutions offer FAA-approved Aviation Maintenance programs and have deep connections to JetBlueโs operations and workforce.
Building on JetBlueโs longstanding Gateway partnership for pilot development, Vaughn College now extends opportunities to aspiring maintenance technicians and deepens a relationship rooted in shared commitment to aviation excellence and workforce development, demonstrating how accessible, community-based pathways can open doors to rewarding careers in aviation.
At the same time, Cape Cod Community College becomes one of the first institutions to bring Gateway University – Tech Ops to life in New England. JetBlueโs partnership with CCCC underscores the airlineโs deep ties to the broader Boston area, where it serves as the largest carrier and continues to support local talent development.
Through the program, accepted students will:
Receive a conditional job offer with JetBlue at acceptance into the program.
Be paired with a JetBlue technician mentor for ongoing support.
Complete required coursework and FAA certifications with continued guidance from JetBlueโs Gateway team.
Transition directly into a maintenance technician role at JetBlue after meeting all requirements.
JetBlue has begun accepting the first candidates into Gateway University – Tech Ops this fall, with the first graduates expected to join JetBlueโs Tech Ops team by next year. The airline also plans to expand the program to additional schools in cities where JetBlue operates major maintenance bases and technical facilities.
Programs like Gateway University – Tech Ops are designed to remove barriers that often prevent talented individuals from pursuing in-demand skilled jobs in aviation. By partnering with colleges and providing structured support from day one, JetBlue is making the pathway into this rewarding profession more accessible.
JetBlue, Puerto Ricoโs largest airline, has unveiled a new specialโpainted Airbus A320 (N657JB) named Isla del Bluencanto, designed by Puerto Rican artist Juan Gutiรฉrrez Rovira (The Stencil Network). The design, chosen by public vote earlier this year, celebrates Puerto Ricoโs culture and heritage with bold imagery including the jรญbaro figure on the tail, tropical fruits and flora along the fuselage, and the phrase โSomos Boricuaโ emblazoned on the belly. The aircraft was revealed at San Juanโs Luis Muรฑoz Marรญn International Airport in a ceremony attended by community members, local leaders, and JetBlue crewmembers.
The livery symbolizes JetBlueโs deep ties to Puerto Rico, where it has operated since 2002 and now serves as the islandโs largest carrier. Leaders including Puerto Ricoโs governor, the Puerto Rico Tourism Company, Discover Puerto Rico, and Aerostar praised the initiative as both a cultural tribute and an economic driver, reinforcing the islandโs role as a premier travel destination.
This marks JetBlueโs second Puerto Ricoโthemed livery, following Bluericua in 2018. The project also included a partnership with the Ricky Martin Foundation, where local children created their own tailfin designs, highlighting the next generation of Puerto Rican creativity. JetBlue further supported the foundation with a donation to youth programs.
JetBlue continues to expand its presence on the island, operating more than 45 daily flights this winter from San Juan, Aguadilla, and Ponce, and recently increasing service on the Fort LauderdaleโSan Juan route. The airline employs nearly 800 crewmembers in Puerto Rico and opened its first crew base outside the continental U.S. in San Juan in 2024, underscoring its longโterm commitment to the islandโs economy and community.
JetBlue Airways and the New York Jets unveiled a new Jets-branded livery at John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) on September 16. Named โJ! E! T! B! L! U! E!โ and designed with refreshed 2025 season branding, the aircraft showcases the teamโs latest logos and colors, turning heads at 35,000 feet and on the tarmac.
The Airbus A320 aircraft (N746JB) was celebrated at a gate-side event, hosted by SNYโs Jeanรฉ Coakley, inside JetBlueโs Terminal 5 at JFK Airport. To celebrate the beginning of the 2025 season and the newly designed plane, JetBlue and team leaders were joined by tight end Jeremy Ruckert, linebacker Quincy Williams, and Jets legends Marty Lyons and Erik Coleman. Customers on the celebratory flight were treated to exclusive photo opportunities and autograph signings with Ruckert, Williams, Lyons and Coleman, and received Jets gift bags with team-branded shirts and hats at their seats on โJ! E! T! B! L! U! E!โ.

Named after the teamโs iconic gameday chant, โJ! E! T! B! L! U! E!โ swaps JetBlueโs iconic blue for a Jets traditional green paint scheme, with white wings and white stripes inspired by the teamโs jersey sleeves across the back of the fuselage. The planeโs belly, engines, tail, and doors all boast prominent Jets logos and branding, making the team visible to both customers and plane spotters on the ground and in the sky.
A long-time partner of the New York Jets, JetBlue became the teamโs Official Airline in 2009 and later reaffirmed that commitment with a livery design dedicated to the team one year later. โJetGreenโ originally debuted in 2010, becoming the first sports-themed aircraft to join JetBlueโs fleet, before an updated Jets-themed plane was launched in 2017. The partnership has since expanded to include joint marketing, in-stadium activations and exclusive promotions for more than 15 years.
JetBlue Airways andย Dunkinโ, Americaโs largest coffee and donuts brand, on May 12 unveiled a new Dunkinโ-themed livery in honor of their longstanding partnership.
The vibrant design of the freshly painted Airbus A320 aircraft (N643JB), appropriately namedย Brewing Altitude, features Dunkinโs iconic pink and orange branding, brought to life with a playful donut and coffee motif. The aircraftโs new look was revealed at a celebratory event in Boston where both brands have deep roots and a loyal following.

The JetBlue and Dunkinโ partnership started in 2006 when JetBlue began fueling its customers with Dunkinโs Original Blend coffee at 35,000 feet. In 2011, Dunkinโ became the airlineโs exclusive onboard coffee provider. Now, the two iconic brands are taking their partnership to new heights as the aircraft makes its way across JetBlueโs network.
Monday Pick-Me-Up: Sip and Soar to Rewards

JetBlue proudly leads the way in both Boston and New England, boasting the most mainline service from Boston with approximately 30 percent more mainline seats than the next largest carrier. As part of JetBlueโs expansive presence at Boston Logan International Airport (BOS), the airline offers the most flights from Boston and New England to California, Florida and the Caribbean than any other carrier. The new special livery underscores JetBlueโs investment in New England where both brands are deeply rooted.
