JetBlue Forges Codeshare Pact with Qatar Airways

JetBlue and Qatar Airways finalized a one-way codeshare agreement to connect the carriers' networks via New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport and Washington Dulles International Airport, subject to receipt of government approval.

The two airlines have been interline partners since 2011, which allows the airlines to issue single tickets for flights combining the services of both airlines and to provide one-stop check-in and baggage transfer.

As a result of the agreement tickets showing Qatar Airways flight numbers will soon be available for sale for JetBlue-operated connections in 26 markets between New York/JFK and Washington Dulles, including the following U.S. destinations: Buffalo, New York (BUF), Charlotte, North Carolina (CLT), Denver, Colorado (DEN), Fort Lauderdale, Florida (FLL), Fort Myers, Florida (RSW), Jacksonville, Florida (JAX), Long Beach, California (LGB), New Orleans, Louisiana (MSY), Palm Beach, Florida, (PBI), Phoenix, Arizona (PHX), Portland, Oregon (PDX), Salt Lake City, Utah (SLC) and Syracuse, New York (SYR).

JetBlue customers will now have access to Qatar Airways' connecting service to destinations across the Middle East, Africa, and Asia Pacific regions, including 12 cities in India and a number of destinations including Bangkok, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Dubai, Kuwait, Riyadh, Islamabad, Nairobi and Dar es Salaam.
