JetBlue to begin flying out of LAX
- Share via
Officials at Los Angeles World Airports have persuaded the budget air carrier JetBlue to begin flying out of Los Angeles International Airport, sources familiar with the company’s plans said Monday.
Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa is scheduled to appear today with JetBlue executives to announce plans for 16 additional daily flights at four airports across Southern California.
A JetBlue spokesman refused to discuss the plans. But city officials said starting May 21, LAX would see three flights per day to JFK International Airport in New York City and one per day to Logan International Airport in Boston.
JetBlue already flies out of LA/Ontario, Long Beach and Burbank airports. Under the expansion plan, six daily flights would be added in Long Beach, with three apiece to Bob Hope Airport in Burbank and San Diego International Airport.
