JetBlue Partners With Cape Air

Under the agreement, passengers may book partnered flights through JetBlue, but not from Cape Air. JetBlue will buy seats as needed from Cape Air, at a reduced rate.

Additionally, JetBlue said it will launch seasonal nonstop Kennedy-Nantucket service, aboard a 100-seat E190, from May 24 through Sept. 24.

Neeleman said JetBlue is working on more partnerships, most likely involving international airlines operating at Kennedy, but they "take a long time." Last week, Ireland's Aer Lingus and JetBlue said they are working out details for an arrangement to allow their passengers to connect at Kennedy, from which JetBlue serves 51 destinations.
