AA & B6 (JetBlue) enhance Partnership: codesharing, coordination, status & earning
AA announced JFK-focused alliance with JetBlue, also new flights to TLV and ATH
Newsroom - JetBlue and American Airlines Announce Strategic Partnership to Create More Competitive Options and Choice for Customers in the Northeast - American Airlines Group, Inc. pre-merger, couldn't we earn AA miles on JetBlue? |
Would think this is encouraging for folks in Northeast who cannot get directly to NYC area on AA anymore like BUF, ROC, etc assuming that this partnership would work this way.

Looks like the North Americas Airlines Arms Race is on. AA/Alaska/Jet Blue partnerships are solidifying AA in the NE, NW and the entire south (CLT and DFW Hubs) using B6 and Alaska as feeders. Wonder what United and Delta do in response. I wonder what this means for the future of T5, T7, and T8 at JFK. Now all of which are operated by airlines in an AA Partnership. Exciting for AA.

Between this and Alaska Airlines partnership, I'm well chuffed. Great news.

This strategy does seem to potentially explain why JFK on AA metal has been declining over the past few years. Obviously this has been in the works for some time as it's potentially a pretty large partnership, even mentioning BOTH transcon on AA and Mint on B6.

Wonder how this impacts JetBlue's future flights to London/Europe?

Not sure there's anyone left for UA/DL to partner with unless they want to bring up the bottom.. Spirit, Allegiant, etc.
Each other? Southwest? I could see the ULCCS all forming something. |
Fantastic to finally see AA launch a JFK-TLV service. With LY now being grounded until August, and their future very uncertain after that, UA and AA are really moving aggressively to eat up the marketshare for S21.

AA is indeed being quite aggressive these days, but they've never been an industry thought leader so we'll have to see.

Increasing domestic routes wouldn't necessarily serve United's interests, either, as they've been more focused on international traffic. |

(bolding mine) I think Delta might disagree that AA has anywhere near a stronghold on the South. I'm not sure there's any reason for DL to find a new partner. They were growing on their own in SEA, BOS, and now MIA. Increasing domestic routes wouldn't necessarily serve United's interests, either, as they've been more focused on international traffic. |

How different is this from the former B6 partnership for those who remember that?
My guess is it had to be done to get more domestic feed to AA flights out of JFK as there's pretty much no real network left there on AA. |
