NEW YORK, Jan. 24, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- JetBlue Airways Corporation
(Nasdaq:JBLU), New York's hometown airline, today announces it will
begin service between White Plains' Westchester County Airport (HPN),
the airline's seventh New York state destination, and Orlando, Florida,
with a daily nonstop flight beginning March 28. Beginning April 2, the
low-cost carrier will add one daily nonstop flight to Fort Lauderdale,
one daily nonstop flight to West Palm Beach and a second daily flight

"As we celebrate our seventh year of operations, we are excited to give
our Westchester and Fairfield County customers the gift of convenient,
nonstop flights from White Plains, our seventh New York destination,"
said David Neeleman, CEO and founder of JetBlue. "We are committed to
making air travel affordable, entertaining and friendly. We look
forward to providing more customers more options and more value for
their travel experience as we continue to expand in our home state."
"JetBlue's new service at White Plains is a win-win for Westchester and
all of New York," said Senator Chuck Schumer. "I have made it my
mission as Senator to ensure that all New York State residents have
access to cheap and reliable air service. These new flights mean more
options for people flying non-stop from Westchester to Florida and that
is a good thing."
"This is wonderful news for Westchester County Airport. It is great to
see that JetBlue is continually expanding to serve more New Yorkers and
more local destinations. These flights to Florida will not only give
local residents more vacation options, they will give local businesses
the chance to reach out to more markets and will bring more customers
to Westchester County and the Lower Hudson Valley," Senator Hillary
Rodham Clinton said.
"JetBlue's reputation for customer service is legendary,'' said County
Executive Andy Spano. "They will make a great addition to Westchester
County Airport and add to the already fine service provided by our
other carriers. We're especially pleased that JetBlue has agreed to be
a good neighbor and work within the rules we've created to protect
those who live in the communities surrounding the airport.''
JetBlue will operate flights to and from Westchester County with its
Airbus A320 aircraft, featuring comfy all-leather seats,
industry-leading legroom and individual seat-back televisions with 36
channels of free DIRECTV(r) programming (b).
