United Airlines will return to JFK with several daily flights in a deal with JetBlue

A collaboration with JetBlue will mark the return of United Airlines to JFK International Airport in two years.

JetBlue will give United access to slots at JFK for up to seven daily round-trip flights beginning in 2027. JetBlue runs approximately 180 daily flights out of JFK.

United last flew out of the New York airport in 2022.

The announcement arrives shortly after the Federal Aviation Administration said that it was extending flight limits at Newark into June due to air traffic controller shortages and technical issues.

United, which has a hub at Newark, cut some flights out of the New Jersey airport earlier this month. CEO Scott Kirby also issued a letter to customers to discuss the difficulties at Newark.

JetBlue previously had a partnership with American Airlines in the Northeast but announced in 2023 that it was ending the tie up after losing a court fight over the deal.
