JetBlue Lands Slots for London Expansion (fool.com)

JetBlue prepares for London flights in 2021, without Heathrow (ukaviation.news)

Congratulations on your London slots. Not Heathrow, but you got slots at both Gatwick (14 weekly; enough for 2x daily) and Stanstead (28 weekly; enough for 4x daily). You guys can start flying there as soon as summer 2021. All the best.

Old news and already discussed here I believe. CEO has said the STN slots will likely be returned and the LHR slot deals are still being worked. JetBlue has yet to announce or confirm which airport(s) they will go to. Should be out in a few more months.

Weird. I did a search for London on JBLU's forum and nothing recent turned up. Did it again and nothing recent except this thread turned up.

Will be interesting to see who the CMA gives the AA/BA LHR remedy slots to. I don’t think we (JetBlue) really want the STN slots, but with all the uncertainty, doesn’t hurt to apply for them.
