Jetblue have been arguing for access on the basis of the Delta/VS and BA/AA alliance having anti competitive holdings at LHR and AMS. They are arguing for remedy slots to open the market to new competition - similar to how Flybe now operate to EDI and ABZ using BA slots.

Posted on Airliners but this seems to imply slots for 2019 could be up for grabs for LHR-NYC.

The actual article within doesn’t specify a London airport. It says the airline can apply for ‘any of their choosing’ between Gatwick and Heathrow.
It’s only the Anetters who have assumed that Heathrow is the most likely option.

It’s possible Jetblue’s flights will be configured only for business class “MINT”.
if this is the case, JetBlue could dramatically undercut the current offering.

If Jet Blue are just shopping for an AOC then Thomas Cook looks like a decent choice.
Well, we're not really sure what the rules will be for UK airlines after 29 March. Perhaps they'll be a free-for-all like the train operating companies.

Putting all of the Brexit stuff aside, TCX could be a good fit for B6 for their strength in UK point of sale, and focus on vacation/leisure destinations, particularly in the Caribbean. The B6 CEO is an ex-BA exec, so I am sure he knows TCX and UK markets very well. We'll find out April 10th...

Seems Virgin/Delta are launching LGW to JFK and Boston next Summer..... announced today. Wonder if this will cause JetBlue to re-think any of their plans? Will certainly put pressure on Norwegian on those routes.

If JetBlue really are to launch London as expected next Wednesday (save the date), then there really are only two contenders left now; Heathrow (good luck getting those slots) or Stansted.

Unless they are persuaded to operate out of Stansted? I know the airport was recently trying to get more long haul operators to operate from there? JetBlue would fit the bill too being a ''low cost'' carrier.

He has had no more reason to know than you and I... He could of course be right but any one of us could be at this stage.
Wednesday isn’t too far off now.

There is also rumours of the aircraft being fitted out in the full mint interior, so could be more like a Silverjet, Eos or Maxjet setup.
