New summer seasonal service strengthens JetBlue’s transatlantic network from Boston and connects New England with Barcelona

To celebrate the launch, limited one-way fares are available starting at $349 and €399 in Core and €1,699 and $1,799 in Mint for Boston–Barcelona route

BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Apr. 16, 2026-- JetBlue (Nasdaq: JBLU), New England’s leading leisure airline, today launched new summer seasonal service between Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) and Josep Tarradellas Barcelona–El Prat Airport (BCN). The route expands JetBlue’s transatlantic flying and further positions Boston as an important European gateway and focus city, while showcasing the cultural and gastronomic richness of Barcelona, a region with its own distinct identity.

Known for its award-winning Mint® experience and elevated onboard service, JetBlue continues to redefine accessible premium travel across the Atlantic. The Boston–Barcelona route supports growing demand for leisure, business, and academic travel, strengthens ties between New England and Spain’s Catalonia region, and complements JetBlue’s broader European network. The airline will also launch seasonal service between Boston and Milan on May 11. Through Boston, customers can connect to JetBlue’s extensive network across the U.S., Latin America, and the Caribbean.

“The launch of service between Boston and Barcelona marks another exciting step in JetBlue’s transatlantic service,” said Marty St. George, president, JetBlue. “We’re excited to introduce our first service to Spain’s Catalonia region, connecting two dynamic global hubs and expanding our international reach. This route builds on our existing transatlantic presence from Boston and gives customers more choice and value when traveling between the U.S. and Europe.”

“From the Barcelona Air Route Development Committee (BARDC), formed by Aena, the Government of Catalonia, Barcelona City Council, and the Barcelona Chamber of Commerce, we have supported the launch of the Boston–Barcelona route. JetBlue’s arrival in the city marks an important milestone, connecting two global hubs and enhancing international connectivity,” said Vanessa Requena, Head of Management Office of JT Barcelona-El Prat Airport. “This new route strengthens economic, academic, and cultural ties between the two cities and responds to strong demand, with more than 1.5 million indirect passengers traveling between the U.S. and Barcelona, including over 59,000 between Boston and Barcelona in 2025.”

Connecting Communities Across the Atlantic: Boston and Barcelona

Barcelona becomes JetBlue’s second destination in Spain, following the launch of service to Madrid last year, and marks the airline’s seventh city served in Europe. Renowned for its art, iconic architecture, and coastal appeal, Barcelona will come alive this summer with a vibrant lineup of cultural events, concerts, and major sporting moments—further cementing its status as one of Europe’s premier destinations.

This new service strengthens access between Boston and Barcelona, building on long-standing cultural, academic, and business ties. Both cities are global hubs for innovation, life sciences, higher education, and the arts, and the route supports deeper collaboration between these two dynamic regions.

With the addition of Barcelona and upcoming service to Milan, JetBlue will operate up to nine daily nonstop flights between Boston and Europe this summer, highlighting its continued investment in building the East Coast’s leading leisure network as part of its JetForward strategy. From Boston, the airline offers more than 130 daily departures to over 65 destinations.
