The 2023 additions will bring the airlines’ alliance to 500 daily departures across New York’s three major airports, and to 200 daily flights out of Boston.
The expansion builds on the carriers’ stance in the federal trial that the alliance will give consumers more options for flights and boost competition, challenging arguments from federal attorneys that the alliance is a virtual merger than could cost consumers more than $700 million annually in higher fares. The Justice Department has asked U.S. District Judge Leo T. Sorokin to dissolve the partnership.
The airlines said the expansion will include new flights by JetBlue with nonstop service from LaGuardia to Nassau, Bahamas, and Bermuda, pending government approval. It will also bring back flights between Newark and Montego Bay, Jamaica, and expand service between Boston and Vancouver. Sorokin has said he plans one more hearing in the case after he has considered all the evidence and legal filings. The judge hasn’t indicated when he will issue a ruling.
