JetBlue ending Mexico City Flights

Although, Boston Logan Airport has certainly seen a lot of success in the last few years in terms of new routes, unfortunately, not all routes work out long term and some will end up getting cut. JetBlue Airways has announced that they are terminating their route to Mexico City. JetBlue is completely closing its Mexico City base and terminating flights all of their flights there as of January 9, 2020. This is just over a year after JetBlue began flying to Mexico City from Boston, and  AeroMexico terminated its Boston route.  Unfortunately, airlines have just been unable to make the market work from Boston.

Level adds flights to Paris-Orly

LEVEL, the airline, has announced a new route from Boston Logan Airport. The airline plans to introduce a 3 weekly service to Paris-Orly Airport. The flights will begin March 31, 2020, and will be flown on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays on an Airbus A330-200. The flights will depart Boston at 23:00 and will arrive in Paris at 12:05 the next day. The return flight will depart Paris at 19:15 and will arrive in Boston at 21:00. For those unfamiliar with LEVEL, LEVEL is a low-cost long-haul airline owned by the IAG, parent company of British Airlines, Iberia, Aer Lingus and more,  currently, the airline flies from Boston to Barcelona, therefore, it will be their second route from Boston. Additionally, this means that Boston will have service to both airports in Paris. Good luck to LEVEL on its new route! Source:  www.routesonline.com

American Airlines adds London Route

Just as it started to seem as if American Airlines was giving up on its routes out of Boston, while allowing Delta to grow, American Airlines has announced its own transatlantic route from Boston, just over 2 years since the airline canceled its  last transatlantic flight from Boston.  Beginning March 28, 2020, American Airlines will begin to fly daily from Boston to London-Heathrow on a Boeing 777-200ER. The flight will depart Boston at 19:30 and arrive in London-Heathrow at 07:30. The return flight will depart London at 09:35 and arrive in Boston at 12:35. The addition of this flight means that Boston will have 10 flights per day to London as of next summer, and this is all before JetBlue adds its planned route to Boston! British Airways will have 4 flights per day to London-Heathrow, American Airlines will have 1 flight per day to London Heathrow, Virgin Atlantic will have 2 flights per day to London-Heathrow, Delta will have 1 flight to London-Heathrow as well as 1 flight to Londo
