JetBlue considers serving 'multiple' London airports

JetBlue Airways is evaluating the possibility of serving more than one London airport under its plan to start transatlantic flights to Europe in 2021.<br/>JetBlue COO Joanna Geraghty said that the airline is looking at London Heathrow, Gatwick, Luton and Stansted as potential arrival points. "We could a see scenario where we fly to multiple London airports," she adds. Earlier this year, the US carrier disclosed that it will launch transatlantic flights in 2021, with services to London from New York John F Kennedy and Boston. The decision was prompted by success of the airline's Mint premium class, which JetBlue introduced in 2014 on Airbus A321s on transcontinental and some Carribbean routes, the carrier said at the time. JetBlue foresees, in particular, a niche for premium travellers on routes to Europe. Geraghty says that the airline offered travellers in the past 50% fare reductions on routes, which it launched in competition to established operators. For the transatlantic flights, however, the New York-based carrier intends to improve its premium class. Geraghty says that the Mint product – which includes lie-flat seats – will be "upgraded" to include "many features [which] customers expect on transatlantic flights".<br/>
