JetBlue (NASDAQ: JBLU) today announced it has officially launched service at San Antonio International Airport (SAT) from both New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) and Boston Logan International Airport (BOS), with the first flights landing in the Texas city this afternoon. With new nonstop flights from New York and Boston to San Antonio JetBlue continues to diversify its flying, advance its focus city growth strategy in the Northeast and introduce the airline’s award winning service and low fares to new customers in south central Texas.

“The new service to San Antonio is an indicator of the growing demand between the southwest and the northeast and our customers’ return to the skies,” said Andrea Lusso, vice president network planning. “With San Antonio being Boston’s largest unserved destination, we are excited to offer our customers traveling for business and leisure our award-winning service and an opportunity to explore the city’s rich history and cultural experiences.”

Deep in the heart of Texas, San Antonio’s bold spirit and historic legacies make it an ideal gateway to the region’s culture, scenic beauty, and restful retreats. Through preserving its history and persevering as one of the nation’s largest cities, San Antonio has become one of America’s most authentic and sought-after destinations. From the iconic River Walk; beautifully preserved Spanish colonial missions, including The Alamo; to charming vineyards; and world-class gastronomy, San Antonio offers a unique experience to all travelers. Art comes alive with outdoor murals, gardens, architecture, and museums showcasing the rich history and culture of the city.

“Visit San Antonio is thrilled to welcome JetBlue’s new direct, non-stop flights to the Alamo City,” said Marc Anderson, President and CEO of Visit San Antonio. “San Antonio is a beloved culinary, cultural and evolving vacation and meetings destination and JetBlue’s entry to our market with direct flights from New York and Boston will help the pandemic recovery for our communities.”
