NEW YORK- JetBlue Airways (B6) is set to increase its Airbus A321 presence across several popular routes, replacing its smaller Airbus A320 aircraft to offer a more spacious and comfortable experience for travelers.
The airline’s A321, designed with an all-economy configuration and a 200-seat capacity, will bring additional legroom and comfort to passengers heading to cities such as Syracuse, Buffalo, Raleigh, and Providence, reported Ishrion Aviation.
JetBlue A321 Domestic Routes
Starting December 19, JetBlue will begin flying the A321 on its route from Orlando (MCO) to Syracuse (SYR) and increase the A321 service from MCO to Providence (PVD).
The route from MCO to Buffalo (BUF) will follow suit on January 7, while flights from San Juan (SJU) to Raleigh (RDU) will see the upgraded aircraft starting February 25.
All of these services will operate seasonally, providing travelers with more comfort and space during peak travel times.
This A321 configuration offers 200 seats: 158 standard seats and 42 extra-space seats. While JetBlue’s popular Mint premium service won’t be available on these flights, the extra-legroom economy layout promises some comfort.
Recently, JetBlue deployed the A321LR, a modified version of the A321neo with additional fuel tanks on some selected transcontinental routes. This domestic deployment of the A321LR is planned for a limited time. Some routes will see the A321LR for just a few days, while others may have it in service for slightly over a week.
Further, as of October 2024, JetBlue operates flights to 67 domestic and 45 international destinations in 33 countries. This also includes five transatlantic destinations.
The airline has a fleet of 99 A321 aircraft including 63 A321-200 and 36 A321neo.
In a separate development, JetBlue plans to retire its Embraer 190 fleet next year. Airbus A220 will replace the old and less fuel-efficient E190s.
