JetBlue Airways (B6)

JetBlue Airways is a hybrid carrier that sits between the ultra-low-cost end of the US market and the legacy network airlines. The airline is best known for free seatback television, generous economy legroom, and the premium Mint product on transcontinental and transatlantic routes. Its largest base is New York JFK, where it is the largest domestic operator by departures, and its second-largest base is Boston Logan. JetBlue has expanded carefully into Europe with A321LR and A321XLR service from JFK and Boston to London, Paris, Amsterdam, and other gateways. The airline operates a mostly Airbus narrowbody fleet plus a regional Embraer fleet, totalling around 295 aircraft, and serves roughly 100 destinations across the US, Caribbean, Latin America, and Europe.
