JetBlue Expands Transatlantic Service from Boston with New Flights to Madrid and Edinburgh Taking Off Today

May 23, 2025 --

JetBlue (NASDAQ: JBLU), New England’s leading leisure airline, today expands its transatlantic network with the launch of two new nonstop routes from Boston to Madrid, Spain (MAD) and Edinburgh, Scotland (EDI). These daily seasonal flights, operating through October 25, 2025, mark JetBlue’s latest step in expanding its European reach from Boston Logan International Airport and strengthening its commitment to Boston as a key international gateway. In addition to these new destinations, seasonal service between Boston and London-Gatwick returns today.

"With our deep Boston roots, we’re excited to be putting more of Europe within reach for New England travelers with JetBlue’s low fares, great service, and the convenience of flying right from Logan,” Daniel Shurz, senior vice president of revenue, network, and enterprise planning at JetBlue. “As we grow across the Atlantic from Boston, we’re also making it easier to connect to more of our network across the U.S., Latin America, and the Caribbean."

"We're excited to offer passengers a nonstop flight to Madrid through this new route - JetBlue's first-ever service to Spain," said Ed Freni, executive director of aviation at Massport. “This new connection makes it easier than ever to explore Madrid’s rich blend of history, culture, and art. We value our strong partnership with JetBlue and look forward to bringing travelers even more great destination options in the future.”

“We are delighted to celebrate JetBlue’s continued transatlantic growth with these new nonstop flights from Madrid and Edinburgh to Boston,” said Martha J. Sheridan, president & CEO of Meet Boston. “These routes create new opportunities for cultural connection with Spanish and Scottish travelers, allowing us to showcase all that Boston has to offer—from our world-renowned history and cultural institutions to our dynamic culinary scene and thriving innovation economy. Whether they are traveling for leisure or business, we look forward to creating unforgettable experiences for our visitors from Spain and the United Kingdom, and any other travelers who utilize these exciting new routes to reach Boston.”

JetBlue’s new Boston flights to Madrid and Edinburgh support its JetForward strategy to build the best East Coast leisure network. These new routes complement JetBlue’s existing seasonal transatlantic service from Boston to Amsterdam, Dublin and London-Gatwick, plus year-round flights to London-Heathrow and Paris. This summer, JetBlue will offer a total of seven daily nonstops between Boston and Europe.

From New York’s JFK Airport, JetBlue serves Dublin and Edinburgh in the summer season, while Amsterdam, London-Heathrow, and Paris are served year-round. Based on their popularity, routes to Dublin and Edinburgh have been extended to the end of October, a month later than last year.

¡Hola, Madrid!

With the start of service to Madrid, JetBlue becomes the only U.S. airline offering nonstop service between Boston and Spain’s capital. From the majestic Royal Palace and the bustling Puerta del Sol to flamenco performances and late-night tapas, Madrid offers a vibrant mix of history and modern culture and is an ideal jumping off point to explore other regions of Spain.
