JetBlue Boosts Boston Transatlantic Flying by Launching New Service to Madrid and Edinburgh

JetBlue, New England’s leading leisure airline, is elevating transatlantic travel with the launch of two exciting new routes to Madrid and Edinburgh. Starting May 22, 2025, JetBlue will introduce daily nonstop seasonal service between Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) and Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas Airport (MAD), marking its debut in Spain and expanding its European footprint.

“Madrid and Edinburgh represent two of Europe’s most exciting and popular destinations, and we’re happy to offer even more transatlantic travel options for our customers from Boston and New England,” said Daniel Shurz, head of revenue, network and enterprise planning at JetBlue. “Europe continues to be part of our network strategy, as our loyal customers look for JetBlue’s signature service and low fares to bring them to top leisure destinations, including across the Atlantic.”

Since its entrance into the European market over three years ago, JetBlue’s reputation has quickly grown as the airline of choice for affordable, customer-focused, and premium transatlantic travel.

Optimizing JetBlue’s European Service with JetForward
JetBlue’s new Boston flights to Madrid and Edinburgh support its JetForward strategy to build the best East Coast leisure network and return to sustained profitability. Edinburgh and Madrid will join JetBlue’s existing transatlantic seasonal service from Boston to Amsterdam, Dublin, and London-Gatwick, and year-round flights to London-Heathrow and Paris. In summer 2025, JetBlue will offer 7 daily nonstops from Boston to Europe.

From New York-JFK, JetBlue serves Dublin and Edinburgh seasonally, while Amsterdam, London-Heathrow, and Paris are served year-round. Based on their popularity, returning routes to Dublin and Edinburgh have been extended this year to the end of October, a month later than the previous year.

“Since launching flights to London in 2021, we’ve thoughtfully adjusted our European service to maximize value for our customers and our business,” said Shurz. “By aligning our schedule with peak seasonal demand and flying our aircraft to other destinations in the off-season, we’re capitalizing from a business perspective while delivering the destinations and experiences our customers love. This approach is driving meaningful results.”

Customers across JetBlue’s network can connect through Boston and New York as gateways to their next European adventure or, via Europe, both focus cities serve as a gateway to JetBlue’s many destinations throughout the United States, Canada, the Caribbean and Latin America.

Madrid: Culture and Cuisine – ¡Qué Guay! (How cool!)
Madrid is a city that never sleeps and provides travelers with endless cultural and gastronomical offerings. Visitors fall in love with its energy, from the historic streets in the city center to the modern style of Gran Vía. It’s a foodie paradise, whether you’re having tapas in La Latina, sipping sangria in a century-old taberna or indulging in chocolate-dipped churros.

Art enthusiasts flock to the world-famous Prado Museum, while sports fans cheer on legendary soccer teams. And when the sun sets, Madrid’s nightlife lights up with rooftop bars, flamenco shows, and bustling plazas. It’s no wonder travelers keep coming back for a dose of Spain’s vibrant capital.

Edinburgh: ‘Bonny’ in the Summer, Brimming with History
Many visitors to Edinburgh agree, it is a city directly out of a storybook, where medieval charm meets modern comforts. The city, a gateway to the Scottish Highlands, features cobblestone streets, the iconic Edinburgh Castle perched high on its rocky throne, and the mysterious allure of the historic Royal Mile. It is a paradise for festival lovers, with JetBlue being a proud recent sponsor of the world-famous Edinburgh Festival Fringe.

Whisky enjoyers can toast to the city’s rich distilling heritage, while nature seekers are rewarded with awesome views from Arthur’s Seat. That’s not to mention world-class golf courses, in the country where the sport was born. From its literary history to its cozy pubs, Edinburgh is a magical blend of culture, adventure, and a wee bit of Scottish charm.
