I struggle to see the attraction for JetBlue with Jet2... Why would they want to partner with what it is a predominately leisure carrier? Is there are a market for that? I believe JetBlue would be after a much more balanced carrier - the obvious one being easyJet with a stronger network throughout Europe.
