American Airlines and
JetBlue have unveiled their initial plans for code-sharing and marketing cooperation on routes out of New York and Boston, a partnership they announced last summer. The two airlines didn’t have much to say about how the partnership will affect the New York-San Francisco market, which they both serve from JFK (and JetBlue also serves from Newark), except to note that customers will see “enhanced schedules” between the two cities. They offered more detail about their Los Angeles-New York plans, also served by both carriers from JFK and by JetBlue from Newark: “Customers will have the most choices — 14 daily flights — between the two carriers and will have access to (American’s) state-of-the art Airbus A321T aircraft or JetBlue’s A321 aircraft featuring Mint,” they said. American also noted that on June 2, it will begin new daily year-round service from JFK to California’s Orange County airport, reportedly using one of the specially configured 102-passenger A321Ts with first, business, and economy class that have previously been restricted to AA’s SFO and LAX transcon flights.
