JetBlue jets into Raleigh Durham from Tampa

JetBlue’s new Raleigh Durham route is one of 13 it has from the airport this winter.

JetBlue took off from Tampa to Raleigh Durham on 11 February. 

The route, some 945 kilometres, operates five-weekly using Embraer 190s.  It’ll reduce to three-weekly in March, before a once-daily service is offered from April onwards.

JetBlue currently competes directly with Delta’s 19-weekly offering, which will increase up to 21-weekly in the coming weeks.

Southwest, meanwhile, will return on a Saturday-only basis from mid-March, growing to once-daily from April.

This winter, JetBlue has 13 routes from Tampa (up from six YOY) and 15 from Raleigh Durham (three).

We wonder if they’re (JetBlue) Mint cookies? 🙂
