JetBlue to launch NY-UK flights despite pandemic
JetBlue has said the Covid pandemic will not stop the airline from launching its long-awaited New York to London service on Wednesday. CE Robin Hayes said there was "strong demand" for the route in the US where, he said, JetBlue had returned to 2019 levels. The move comes as the global travel industry continues to recover. Holiday Inn-owner Intercontinental Hotels said holiday demand was "returning strongly". JetBlue's first transatlantic flight will leave New York's JFK airport on Wednesday evening and will land at London's Heathrow. Flights to London Gatwick will begin on 29 September. However, travelling on the route does not come cheap, at least to start with. JetBlue's website no longer has seats available for that inaugural flight, but prices for the next few days start at $941 one-way.<br/>
