JetBlue Airways Corp. said it is considering adding routes to Europe in the next few years, as it reported second-quarter results on Tuesday that beat Wall Street expectations.

we will know they mean business when they order A350's. I am not persuaded that A321LR aircraft would be adequate for transatlantic flights, no matter what airbus says about that. If they order 20 A350's , then that would be interesting, VERY interesting. With the number of 777's coming off lease coinciding with the new generation 777's, there lies the opportunity to get big/long/far/crowded quickly. Older airplanes, lower cost structure- could work.....
The A321neo LRs you mention, with a range of 4000nmi/4600mi, JetBlue could perform JFK-LHR , JFK-FRA, JFK-CDG or other second tier airports without a problem. Would be interesting to change the dynamics of legacy carriers in this way. We shall see what happens!
I'd like to see them do a BOS-MAN like American used to do, or even a BOS-LHR would be good, especially since Boston is Jet Blue hub.
Oh please, oh please, oh please! And thank you.
Speaking for myself, I do NOT want to fly across the pond in a narrow body (with the exception of a G650) period. Give me a big guy anytime, even if it's a 330
Would you do it in the 757's that Iceland Air uses to get to Reykjavik?
