JetBlue Starts Service to Portland

Check out Delta's response to JetBlue going to Portland... They are adding four daily round trips to JFK. If we can not get JetBlue to divert any of their Boston-JFK shuttles, maybe we should approach Delta about a JFK shuttle. Would a Delta Connection, like Skybus, consider flying a shuttle a couple times per day from smaller airports like Pease/ORH to JFK. a Delta Hub?

Lori McGrory figures she will benefit from today's startup of service to Portland by JetBlue Airways, even if she never sets foot aboard one of the airline's planes. McGrory, who flies to Florida to visit her parents about six times a year, said the discount carrier's new service allows her to fly less expensively from Portland, instead of traveling to Manchester, N.H., or Boston in search of low fares, even though she hasn't booked a flight on JetBlue yet......

One good thing was announced just last week: Delta Airlines said that, starting in September, it will add four daily round trips to JFK International in New York, which is JetBlue's hub. Delta and other airlines have already cut their fares substantially to meet the challenge by the discount carrier, at least on routes where they compete directly with JetBlue.
