No so there are 18 landing slots available pre 6am . BTW The winter 4.30 slot is/was used by BA for a Boston arrival so looks like they have gone after the remedial slots available from BA for use to Boston .Good play.

A few points:
As I understand it, these are slot requests, not yet confirmed.
They have requested more than one slot pair at Heathrow
Times are GMT, so in local time, it'll be 0550 arrival and 0750 departure. Not quite such unsociable hours.

I really did think it would going to be as vague as this. They hadn't applied to the CAA, they haven't completed a deal with any airport and they don't have ETOPS (or at least I don't think they have). Along with that they don't even have the aircraft yet - so all they could say was we are converting some of our 321neo's to LR's and we will start operations to London in 2021.

On the contrary it could be viewed a masterclass in strategy & gaming all the opposition.
That will include the rival airlines such as Delta who have already jumped & disrupts others strategic planning,the airframer as it might appear Airbus will let them upgrade to the A321XLR a much more expensive model free of charge & of course the LON airports,tho they may well know far more than they can publicise.
Time perhaps to press feeder talks in LON.
It enhances their market value in the very predatory US airline market.
It suits their purpose too as the airframes are not available until 2021.

Correct southside bobby. Whilst this may provoke others to start competing services for the most part it will mean others choose different locations. They all say that they like competition but, naturally, they all try and avoid it!
The New York-based carrier says it is evaluating "multiple" airports in London for its service. "For commercial reasons we will hold that a bit closer to the vest, but we are confident we have a path into multiple London airports," JetBlue chief commercial officer Marty St George tells FlightGlobal.JetBlue announced earlier today it will convert 13 A321neos in its orderbook to A321LRs, to begin flights to London from both Boston Logan and New York John F Kennedy in 2021. The airline has said London is the largest market it currently does not serve from the US northeast.While airlines typically prefer to locate operations at a single airport in a city, the slot constraints around London's airports are keeping JetBlue's mind open, St George indicates. "If we can get acceptable accommodations at multiple airports, it's something we've thought about," he says, adding that one should not "assume as a given" that JetBlue will operate to only one airport in London."

With JetBlue predicting all 13 A321LR`s on order being delivered in 2021 & stating schedules into London Airports (plural) being planned out at the present time it has been suggested that both JFK & Boston- LON could each be flown 6 times daily.

Would make perfect sense not to dilute the effort & resources but go in big against likes of DAL.
They regard LON as their largest unserved metropolitan destination so frequency would be key.

If Covid has not already put JetBlue's London plans on ice, then I think JetBlue and American Airlines hopping into bed together certainly has:

Did you not read this bit:
Note that JetBlue isn’t joining the oneworld alliance, and when JetBlue starts flying to London, the airline won’t be part of the oneworld transatlantic joint venture.
