US Department of Transportation Approves United Airlines and JetBlue Partnership

The United States Department of Transportation has approved the partnership between United Airlines and JetBlue Airways. Details will be announced in the coming weeks, with services set to commence this fall.

The partnership enables reciprocal earning and use of miles, and offers benefits such as complimentary seat assignments, including premium seats for elite members, same-day standby and changes, and one free checked bag. Some corporate programs and discount conditions will be mutually applied.

Furthermore, both companies’ websites and apps will allow reservations for each other’s flights. Reservations and sales will be conducted under an interline agreement with unique brands and flight numbers, rather than a codeshare.

The function of selling United Airlines’ hotels, rental cars, cruises, and travel insurance as standalone or package options will be integrated into services operated by JetBlue Airways.

Additionally, starting in 2027, JetBlue will provide landing slots for up to seven daily round trips at New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport, while United Airlines will provide eight daily round trips at Newark Liberty International Airport.
