JetBlue Airways continues to expand its transatlantic network lands for the first time in France on June 29, 2023 with nonstop service between New York JFK and Paris. The French capital is the airline’s first destination in continental Europe and the largest market the carrier does not serve from the Big Apple.

«JetBlue’s arrival in Paris is poised to revolutionize the market once again with our award-winning service and low fares, bringing a fresh and innovative option in transatlantic flying to a new European audience«, said Robin Hayes, JetBlue’s chief executive officer.
