Furthermore, while flying on Icelandair across the Atlantic, customers can make a stop in Iceland without any extra cost by choosing a stopover duration ranging from one to seven days.
Icelandair CEO Bogi Nils Bogason said: “This year marks the ten-year anniversary of our successful partnership with JetBlue, where we have been able to offer great connections and enhanced comfort for our customers. The similarities between our business models and a strong focus on customer experience mean that we can offer complimentary service throughout our networks. We are very pleased to expand our partnership and offer travellers new options for connecting between the two airlines’ networks.”
Both the airlines have been in an alliance since 2011.
In September, JetBlue announced its transition to sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) through a ten-year offtake agreement with bioenergy developer SG Preston.
