JetBlue wants to be a challenger airline on a nationwide basis. If it acquires Spirit, then the Midwest would not be merely something to admire from 30,000 feet.
JetBlue President and Chief Operating Officer Joanna Geraghty teased that beyond recent launches of a trio of routes from New York to London, including JFK-Heathrow, JFK-Gatwick, and Boston-Gatwick, the airline is contemplating expansion to continental Europe.
Continuing to grow JetBlue's network in Mexico is also on the to-do list, but Geraghty quipped "right now, our plate's a bit full" given the airline's engagement in an antitrust trial pertaining to its Northeast Alliance with American Airlines, and JetBlue's pending acquisition of Spirit.
Geraghty discussed those issues and a host of others at Skift Global Forum in Manhattan September 20 in an interview with Skift Airline Weekly Editor Edward Russell.
