British Airways is expanding its presence in the United States by enhancing its codeshare agreement with JetBlue, anticipating a busy summer season. This move will increase the frequency of British Airways' services on existing North American routes and extend BA flight numbers to several domestic JetBlue flights from Boston and New York JFK.
The codeshare arrangement between British Airways and JetBlue has been particularly beneficial for both airlines. For JetBlue, this partnership allows the carrier to strengthen its position in the European market, as British Airways passengers can earn Avios points on JetBlue flights. The expanded agreement now includes BA flight numbers on routes such as Boston to Atlanta, Austin, Cleveland, Denver, Seattle, and New York JFK to Atlanta, Sacramento, and Seattle.
JetBlue's collaboration with British Airways and American Airlines has not yet led to its membership in the oneworld alliance. Despite these partnerships providing significant benefits due to their presence at major airports like Boston and New York JFK—key hubs for American Airlines—JetBlue remains independent from any major airline alliance.
