Airlines enter into interline agreements because they allow them to offer more goals without having to make significant investments. Mexican airline Interjet has signed an interline agreement with low-cost carrier JetBlue. This allows both airlines to sell tickets within the route plan. Interjet Airlines and JetBlue have announced a new bilateral interline agreement that offers passengers expanded travel opportunities. Under the new partnership, passengers have the option to purchase a single ticket for flights with both airlines, with the ability to check baggage from departure to the final destination and benefit from simple connections at airports served by both airlines. In 2011, JetBlue entered into interline agreements with Virgin Atlantic and Jet Airways, both of which were terminated. [140] [141] Since 2012, JetBlue has entered into an interline agreement with Air China. An interline agreement has also been reached with Porter Airlines, which is moving from billy Bishop Toronto Airport to U.S. destinations via Boston and Newark. [142] Also in 2010, JetBlue entered into interline reservation agreements with South African Airways[137] and American Airlines[138] to facilitate the transfer of baggage between airlines by connecting with another airline. The agreement with American included JetBlue`s 18 destinations that were not served by American and American York`s 12 international flights to JFK and Boston Logan. In addition, American JetBlue gave 8 round trips from Washington National to D.C. and 2 from Westchester, New York.
In return, JetBlue American gave JFK 6 round trips from New York. According to JetBlue`s website, the deal with American Airlines has ended. [139] From the beginning, it can be seen that there is no easy place to find the contract of carriage. You can simply search for it in the search bar or you can search for “legally” because the contract of carriage is a legally binding agreement. “Legal” can be found in JetBlue`s footer: JetBlue has entered into a number of codeshare agreements with other airlines, meaning that airlines agree to share certain flights that both airlines market and publish in their own flight plans under their respective names and flight numbers. JetBlue codeshares with the following airlines:[144][145] Following the conclusion of a codeshare agreement with Lufthansa, JetBlue, which came into effect in 2010, switched to the Sabre reservation system used by Lufthansa,[135] which allowed airlines to sell tickets on flights on the other side, carry luggage and passengers between the two airlines and combine frequent flyer programs. [136] By using JetBlue`s North American routes as an access network, the agreement allowed Lufthansa to operate quasi-platforms at New York-JFK and Boston Logan. For JetBlue, however, the advantage of this interline agreement is not on Interjet`s international route map. In fact, JetBlue flies to the same international destinations as Interjet, with the exception of Canada and El Salvador.
What`s jetBlue is the Mexican domestic market. Unusual for an LCC, however, JetBlue offers more than one cabin class, offers free in-flight entertainment and refreshments, and maintains codeshare agreements with several other airlines. “We are very pleased to announce another very important interline bilateral agreement between Interjet and JetBlue,” said Julio Gamero, Interjet`s Chief Commercial Officer. This partnership will allow passengers from both airlines to access more amazing destinations in the U.S. and Mexico, while JetBlue business and vacation travelers will be able to experience our unique brand of lower prices with free hold luggage at selected rates, business class leg freedom between each seat, and great service.” he added. “This new agreement with Norwegian seamlessly connects JetBlue`s robust network in the U.S., the Caribbean and Latin America with exciting European destinations on our new partner`s route map,” said Robin Hayes, JetBlue`s Chief Executive Officer. . . .
