JetBlue Soars in Ski Town, USA® with New Nonstop Service Between Steamboat Springs, Colo. and Three Focus Cities

JetBlue’s New Seasonal Service Now Flying Between Steamboat Springs
and Fort Lauderdale, Fla., Boston and Long Beach, Calif.

NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–lt;a href=”https://twitter.com/hashtag/JetBlueHDN?src=hash” target=”_blank”gt;#JetBlueHDNlt;/agt;–JetBlue (NASDAQ:JBLU) today announced the start of new service in
Steamboat Springs, Colo., with the arrival of inaugural flights from
Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL), Boston Logan
International Airport (BOS) and Long Beach Airport (LGB). The new routes
connect the world-renowned ski destination with three key regions of
JetBlue’s route map and operate on a winter seasonal schedule.

“This winter JetBlue is pairing our award-winning service with the famed
champagne powder of Steamboat,” said Andrea Lusso, director route
planning, JetBlue. “And with three new nonstop routes to some of the
best skiing in the western U.S., Steamboat Springs has never been so
close to travelers across our network.”

JetBlue is now the only airline to offer nonstop service from both New
England and South Florida to Steamboat Springs. And Long Beach service
opens up a new and convenient airport choice for Southern California
travelers. Twice-weekly Boston and Long Beach service operates
Wednesdays and Saturdays, with Fort Lauderdale service operating weekly
on Saturdays.

JetBlue flights serve Yampa Valley Regional Airport (HDN), just 30
minutes from downtown Steamboat Springs. Steamboat’s unique mix of
Champagne Powder®, cowboy boots and friendly locals lends an inviting,
laid back atmosphere to the historic Colorado resort town, where western
heritage meets abundant outdoor adventure.

“Recognizing the popularity of Steamboat as a destination for guests in
New England and south Florida, the resort is thrilled to partner with
JetBlue to provide nonstop access for skiers and riders in these markets
as well as Long Beach for West Coast vacationers,” said Rob Perlman,
president and COO of Steamboat Ski & Resort Corp.

“Air service into the Yampa Valley Regional Airport continually ranks as
a top priority among business leaders in our community,” said Kara
Stoller, CEO, Steamboat Springs Chamber. “The new JetBlue nonstop routes
into the Yampa Valley are a fantastic addition to our current air
program and will surely make an impact on the local economy. We are
thrilled to welcome guests from every corner of the country and have
additional destinations that locals are able to access from our great
regional airport.”

JetBlue will operate new Steamboat Springs flights using its Airbus A320
aircraft offering the airline’s award-winning service featuring the most
legroom in coach (a); free Fly-Fi, the fastest broadband internet in the
sky (b); complimentary and unlimited name-brand snacks and soft drinks;
