JetBlue (NASDAQ: JBLU), New England’s premier leisure airline, is broadening its transatlantic presence by launching two new nonstop routes from Boston Logan International Airport.
Starting 22 May, daily seasonal flights will connect Boston to Madrid, Spain (MAD), and Edinburgh, Scotland (EDI), running through October 25, 2025.
Alongside these new destinations, JetBlue is also resuming its seasonal Boston to London-Gatwick service. These additions solidify Boston’s role as a vital international hub for the airline.
Daniel Shurz, JetBlue’s senior vice president of revenue, network, and enterprise planning, shared his thoughts. “Our deep ties to Boston drive us to make Europe more accessible for New England travelers. With JetBlue’s low fares, exceptional service, and the convenience of flying from Logan, we’re connecting more of our U.S., Latin American, and Caribbean network to Europe.”
New Transatlantic Connections
Madrid: First Spanish Destination
The introduction of Boston-Madrid flights marks JetBlue’s first-ever service to Spain. Ed Freni, executive director of aviation at Massport, highlighted the significance. “This nonstop route to Madrid opens up Spain’s vibrant capital, known for its rich history, culture, and art. Our partnership with JetBlue continues to bring exciting travel options to Boston.”
Madrid, a city of majestic landmarks like the Royal Palace and lively spots like Puerta del Sol, offers travelers a blend of history and modern flair. From flamenco shows to late-night tapas, it’s a perfect gateway to explore Spain’s diverse regions.
Edinburgh: Complementing New York Service
Edinburgh, Scotland’s cultural gem, is equally captivating. Known for its iconic castle, cobblestone streets, and vibrant arts scene, the city combines heritage with creativity.
JetBlue’s new Boston-Edinburgh route complements its existing seasonal service from New York’s JFK to Edinburgh, giving travelers more ways to experience Scotland.
Martha J. Sheridan, president and CEO of Meet Boston, celebrated the new routes. “These flights to Madrid and Edinburgh create opportunities for cultural exchange.”
“Boston’s rich history, dynamic culinary scene, and innovation economy are now more accessible to Spanish and Scottish visitors. We’re eager to welcome travelers for both leisure and business.”
JetBlue’s Growing Transatlantic Network
The new routes align with JetBlue’s JetForward strategy to build the best East Coast leisure network. This summer, JetBlue will operate seven daily nonstop flights from Boston to Europe. These include Amsterdam, Dublin, London-Gatwick, London-Heathrow, and Paris.
The airline also serves Dublin and Edinburgh seasonally from New York’s JFK, with these routes extended through October due to high demand. Year-round JFK flights include Amsterdam, London-Heathrow, and Paris.
