JetBlue’s New Seasonal Service Now Flying
Between Steamboat Springs and Fort Lauderdale, Fla., Boston and
Long Beach, Calif.
JetBlue (NASDAQ:JBLU) today announced the start of new service
in Steamboat Springs, Colo., with the arrival of inaugural flights
from Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL), Boston
Logan International Airport (BOS) and Long Beach Airport (LGB). The
new routes connect the world-renowned ski destination with three
key regions of JetBlue’s route map and operate on a winter seasonal
schedule.
“This winter JetBlue is pairing our award-winning service with
the famed champagne powder of Steamboat,” said Andrea Lusso,
director route planning, JetBlue. “And with three new nonstop
routes to some of the best skiing in the western U.S., Steamboat
Springs has never been so close to travelers across our
network.”
JetBlue is now the only airline to offer nonstop service from
both New England and South Florida to Steamboat Springs. And Long
Beach service opens up a new and convenient airport choice for
Southern California travelers. Twice-weekly Boston and Long Beach
service operates Wednesdays and Saturdays, with Fort Lauderdale
service operating weekly on Saturdays.
JetBlue flights serve Yampa Valley Regional Airport (HDN), just
30 minutes from downtown Steamboat Springs. Steamboat's unique mix
of Champagne Powder®, cowboy boots and friendly locals lends an
inviting, laid back atmosphere to the historic Colorado resort
town, where western heritage meets abundant outdoor adventure.
“Recognizing the popularity of Steamboat as a destination for
guests in New England and south Florida, the resort is thrilled to
partner with JetBlue to provide nonstop access for skiers and
riders in these markets as well as Long Beach for West Coast
vacationers,” said Rob Perlman, president and COO of Steamboat Ski
& Resort Corp.
“Air service into the Yampa Valley Regional Airport continually
ranks as a top priority among business leaders in our community,”
said Kara Stoller, CEO, Steamboat Springs Chamber. “The new JetBlue
nonstop routes into the Yampa Valley are a fantastic addition to
our current air program and will surely make an impact on the local
economy. We are thrilled to welcome guests from every corner of the
country and have additional destinations that locals are able to
access from our great regional airport.”
JetBlue will operate new Steamboat Springs flights using its
Airbus A320 aircraft offering the airline's award-winning service
featuring the most legroom in coach (a); free Fly-Fi, the fastest
broadband internet in the sky (b); complimentary and unlimited
name-brand snacks and soft drinks; free, live DIRECTV® programming
