JetBlue has extended its partnership with Discover the World, adding Spain to its commercial representation network. This move supports the airline’s transatlantic expansion and aligns with the launch of its new Madrid-Boston route, set to begin operations on May 23, 2025.
With this addition, Discover the World now represents JetBlue in 11 European countries, including the UK, France, the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Ireland, Germany, Denmark, Portugal, and Switzerland.
