While not the primary reason for a standalone EWR base, politics likely plays some role in the decision as well. Jetblue needs as much access to EWR as possible and Scott Kirby is trying to lock them out. A tangential benefit of opening an EWR base is that it shows commitment to the market, can be touted as the creation of jobs, and should to level the playing field against United in the eyes of the Port Authority when allocating resources at EWR.
