Emirates passengers travelling to the US from India will soon enjoy seamless connections to a dozen US cities, with the airline starting a one-way code-share with JetBlue.
The two airlines have been interline partners since 2010, facilitating passengers the convenience of a single ticket for Emirates- and JetBlue-operated flights.
Mr Orhan Abbas, Vice-President (India & Nepal), Emirates Airline, said, “US attracts huge traffic from India for work, education and leisure. The association with JetBlue will benefit Indians travelling to US on Emirates by offering smooth connectivity from New York's JFK Airport to some of the most popular destinations in the US.”
Emirates' network within the US will soon extend to almost 20 cities through JetBlue. Emirates currently offers two daily non-stop flights to JFK.
As a one-way code-share, an Emirates' flight number will be placed on JetBlue services to 12 cities, including Boston, Buffalo, Chicago, Fort Lauderdale, Tampa and Washington Dulles.
