TAMPA --
JetBlue Airways will launch service June 11 between Tampa International
Airport and New York's LaGuardia Airport with two flights, and between Tampa and
Reagan Washington National Airport near Washington with one flight.
The flights will be possible through JetBlue's recent acquisition of landing slots at the New York and Washington airports through a Federal Aviation Administration auction. For Tampa, the new flights increase competition between airlines already serving LaGuardia and National, which generally keeps fares low.
"Including us as part of this expansion is testament to JetBlue's belief in the vitality of the Tampa Bay region," said Chris Minner, Tampa International vice president of marketing.
JetBlue is offering one-way fares from $79 between Tampa and National and $99 between Tampa and LaGuardia through March 12. The JetBlue.com fares are good for travel between June 11 and July 31, with blackout dates from June 29 to July 9.
JetBlue will not eliminate any flights between Tampa International and Kennedy International and will maintain four daily nonstop flights between those two airports, according to JetBlue officials.
In addition to Tampa, JetBlue will add daily service between New York/LaGuardia and Sarasota/Bradenton and Fort Myers, while adding LaGuardia flights to Orlando, Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood and West Palm Beach.
