JetBlue - London.
JetBlue has just sent out a “save the date” email to employees. This event will be taking place in New York City on April 10, 2019, and is described as a “chat about JetBlue’s vision and strategy.” JetBlue employees are invited to attend in person or watch via webcast.
It sure sounds to me like this is more than a “state of the airline” address, based on the way it’s described. I assume that there’s some big announcement.
I think just about everyone’s first instinct is that JetBlue is about to announce service to Europe. I don’t know if that’s the case or not but there is a poster doing the rounds which looks like a London skyscape in the back ground with the millennium wheel looking very prominent.

Well that would be interesting - they do have 159 seat A321 with a high end Mint product (16 Super business type/Premium Economy) but they are not NEO LR but have IAE engines - Not sure if they have any ETOPS experience either?
So at present they do not have any fleet for TA ops but read this about their latest NEO orders and new markets https://www.flightglobal.com/news/ar...n-2019-454738/
Mid April is a funny time to announce new markets - they would have lost Summer 2019 momentum for sales

How and who have they got the slots from if they are to operate to/from Heathrow?
IMHO they will have been offered a much better deal surely to go to Stansted or Gatwick.
Heathrow 'narrow-body transatlantic' just seems to me like an expensive experiment.

Or they could choose any random UK Regional Airport , would SEN be able to accommodate the aircraft mentioned?.
It's just the sort of deal , Stobart are good at doing .
There again a Northern Airport , apart from Manchester there are no Us services ( unless Newcastle still operate there ).
But either way even if there are.
Non are ' Ultra Low Cost' , Jet Blue of course.
Offers different Service levels, bit I think a certain popular YouTube channel ' flight experience chap ' covered Jet Blue Mint and mentioned the very basic ultra low cost , options .
Through to ' Mint '., If this is the case then will this be the first true ' Low-cost ' carrier to cross the pond .
If so I'd bet a certain Irish Airline will be fuming , not having the Aircraft to do the trip .

EDI have had discussions as well but suspect the DL announcement of BOS perhaps prempted that, so maybe GLA as a northern UK/Europe port after LHR
Cant see BHX in a month of sundays

Maybe, Providence , but not sure why that never worked out for Norwegian.
But then my detailed US geography is not great .
So not sure how far ' out of town it is '.

Well according to another online aviation forum (yes the one where 99% of members are JetBlue fanboys), there could potentially be a very far-out but somewhat credible rumour of B6 buying out Thomas Cook, hence the “London” theme.

People would do well to remember what happens to the last airline that built-up a healthy base at Manchester with A330s and moved them to London. It wasn’t a lot of gold, or a happy ending.

Personally I hope it’s STN over LHR, there is more European destinations for onward travel for US passengers, who knows maybe some deal has been struck with the golden harp, that would make things very interesting indeed But like everyone we will just have to wait and see.
